SAFE Schools - Student Version

SAFE Schools’ theoretical framework is based on the SIP model and additionally encompasses other components such as emotional activation and regulation.


The intervention was designed to be delivered to whole classes of 7 th to 9 th graders, in a face-to-face format and within the class’s allocated timetable. Its goals are to mitigate the practice of aggressive behaviour by adolescent students within school contexts, to enhance prosocial and assertive behaviours and to promote more positive relational climate in the classroom. The program includes 14 weekly sessions of approximately 60 minutes each and is organized across five consecutive modules: Cognitive restructuring, Emotional management, Behavioural manifestations of aggression, Activation of alternative behaviours, Revision of gains and relapse prevention.
