Abstract
Engaging families in school-based preventive interventions for aggressive youth can be especially challenging. The current paper describes an integration of a parent engagement model, called the Family Check-Up, with an evidence-based intervention for youth with aggressive behaviors called Coping Power. The overall goal of the integration was to increase parental involvement and exposure to the core elements of the Coping Power program in order to optimize impact on families and their children. We describe both models, summarize evidence of their efficacy when implemented alone, and provide a rationale for their integration. We also provide case examples to illustrate the implementation of the integrated program in schools as well as feasibility data supporting its continued study and implementation.
