SHERBET is a unique tool designed to help practitioners support young people aged 11-17 who exhibit aggressive behaviours. Using CBT-based strategies, the program aims to enhance their ability to recognise, regulate, and manage their emotions effectively. Grounded in research and best practice, SHERBET draws on emotion regulation theories and motivational interviewing techniques.
The structured group programme offers clear guidance in a supportive environment while remaining adaptable to individual needs. By addressing emotional overwhelm and unhealthy coping strategies early, the programme works to reduce future mental health and behavioural challenges.
Activities promote perspective taking, empathy development, and bias awareness, alongside strategies to strengthen communication skills. The comprehensive manual includes detailed instructions for staff training, programme evaluation, practical worksheets (also available as downloadable resources), and role-playing exercises for facilitating effective group sessions.
This resource is essential for all professionals working with children who experience difficulties with emotion regulation, including mental health practitioners, school counsellors, youth justice workers, social workers, special education teachers, and other professionals involved in child and adolescent well-being.
Readers are expected to have a foundational understanding of child development, emotional and behavioural difficulties, and therapeutic interventions.
