PAX Tools Provide Social-Emotional Resources for Kids

Our staff at all 4 Clubhouses are trained in PAX Tools. PAX Tools are a set of trauma-informed, evidence-based behavioral tools that address the challenges that youth face as they learn to manage their own responses and as they learn to interact in a cooperative manner with others. PAX Tools help to establish an environment for youth that is grounded in the concepts of safety and predictability. With the help of PAX Tools, we can reduce negative influences and problematic behaviors while richly reinforcing prosocial behaviors and increasing psychological flexibility (examples: resilience, accountability and respect). PAX Tools was developed by a team of experts in the field of Psychology and Behavioral Health and is used around the world.
