This article describes a new training curriculum for educators, youth workers, and mentors which draws from research and best practices in positive youth development and positive behavior support. Response Ability Pathways or RAP focuses on three practical interventions: connect to others for support, clarify challenging problems, and restore bonds of respect. RAP is a strength-based curriculum that offers training for educators and others who work with challenging children and youth. RAP teaches response abilities that provide those who care about youth the understanding and confidence to respond to their needs instead of reacting to their problems. RAP enables adults to guide youth on responsible pathways and provide support as young people learn to express problems and pain in positive ways. A highly experiential curriculum provides adults with essential skills for developing positive behavior and resilience in challenging youth.
