- Provides a non-threatening environment to talk about feelings, and help teach healthy ways to express anger, hurt, fear, and other difficult feelings
- Lets children know that they are not alone, and helps them share their feelings with others experiencing similiar situations
- Defines abuse and lets children know their rights
- Teaches problem solving and coping skills
- Identifies the causes and effects of conflict
- How does family conflict affect children?

Children exposed to violence in the home often live with fear and/or anxiety waiting for the next violent episode to occur. Research shows that some children show overt signs of family conflict, such as aggression and/or depression, and other children display less obvious adjustment difficulties, such as inappropriate attitudes about violence and/or poor problem solving skills. Children in both situations can benefit from a program specifically designed to meet their needs.

Program topics include:
- Problem solving skills
- Healthy ways to handle feelings, like anger
- How to manage emotions
- Healthy ways to deal with stress
- Increasing self-esteem
- Healthy and unhealthy ways to communicate
- Dealing with conflict
