Prop 47 Grant
Programs, Activities, and Interventions
Why Try?
Under Prop 47 we are implementing the evidence-based curricula and interventions Aggression Replacement Training, Why Try?, and CBT. These interventions are provided to our target population by existing PUSD staff members and the mental health providers contracted with Prop 47 grant funds.
Why Try? is registered by SAMHSA as a cognitive behavioral intervention program to help children and adolescents improve self-control and motivation. The Why Try? curriculum provide opportunities for participants to practice prosocial behaviors.
