PIP’s mission is to provide a nurturing, supportive environment that allows children
to feel safe, to learn about themselves, identify feelings, develop interpersonal
skills and increase self esteem.
What is PIP and what can it offer your child?
P.I.P. (Primary Intervention Program) – means the early introduction and development of skills that
promote academic and social success. Children who are successful are more resilient to life’s stresses
and have a higher sense of well-being. PIP is a prevention program specifically designed to help kids
develop resiliency and achieve success.
Children are more resilient and successful when they:
-feel competent with a sense of personal power.
-have strong and appropriate problem solving skills.
-are self-disciplined.
-believe they can influence events in their lives.
-are appropriately oriented toward success.
PIP develops resiliency and promotes success in children by:
-encouraging problem-solving and planning through child-initiated activities.
-encouraging pro-social development through child initiated role playing.
-providing leadership and decision making opportunities.
-promoting healthy attitudes toward school
-promoting appropriate ways to release challenging emotions.
-encouraging goal setting and self esteem
-practicing social skills which promote healthy relationships.
