Play Connection:A Curriculum-Based
Support Group Program for Families
Building Stronger Children and Families

For Parents and their Children Ages 4-12
![Page 8: Family Connection A Comprehensive Prevention Program for Homeless Children A program of Rainbow Days, Inc. (RDI) Presenter: Kathy Daley Training Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e6b5503460f94b695a1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The CBSG® Program is a multi-cultural preventive
intervention for selective and indicated populations of
children and youth, developmental ages 4-15 , whose high-risk situations,
attitudes and behaviors place them at elevated risk for
substance abuse, delinquency and violence.
What is the CBSG® Program?
![Page 9: Family Connection A Comprehensive Prevention Program for Homeless Children A program of Rainbow Days, Inc. (RDI) Presenter: Kathy Daley Training Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e6b5503460f94b695a1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The CBSG® Program is evidence-based and uses a support group and trained
facilitator to teach children and youth a set of essential life skills to help them
learn how to: cope with difficult family situations; resist peer pressure; set and achieve goals; and, refuse alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.
![Page 10: Family Connection A Comprehensive Prevention Program for Homeless Children A program of Rainbow Days, Inc. (RDI) Presenter: Kathy Daley Training Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e6b5503460f94b695a1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Universal – Programs which reach all of the general population (e.g. all students in a grade)
Selective – Programs which target groups at risk (e.g. COAs or poor school achievers)
Indicated – Programs are designed for individuals who exhibit risk-related behaviors (e.g. students already experimenting or involved in delinquency)
Prevention Framework
The CBSG® Program is both Selective & Indicated

Protective Factors and the Major Messages
The CBSG® Program has created a set of “Major Messages,” based on the protective factor research,
which are repeated aloud by participants at the close of each support group session. These Messages provide a
verbal reinforcement of the spirit of each protective factor, which is also incorporated into several session
topics for reinforcement.
I Am - Autonomy
I Can - Social Competence
I Have- Interdependence
I Will - Problem Solving SkillsI Believe - Sense of Purpose and Future
