A school-community partnership team implemented an aggression management
curriculum in an afterschool program as an early-intervention strategy at the
upper elementary level. Although statistically significant differences in

a better understanding of evidence-based programs and collaborative
interventions. This article presents implications for school counselors,
community partners, and the health/social services team. It also offers program
improvements and other approaches for addressing bullying.
