  I am a counselor for Youth Guidance’s B.A.M. (Becoming A Man™) – Sports Edition is a school-based counseling, mentoring, violence prevention and educational enrichment program that promotes social, emotional and behavioral competencies in at-risk male youth. B.A.M – Sports Edition’s curriculum addresses six core values: integrity, accountability, self-determination, positive anger expression, visionary goal-setting and respect for women, as each value relates to personal and academic success. Over the course of 30 weekly sessions, B.A.M. – Sports Edition participants engage in developmentally-based lessons and challenges that promote their emotional literacy, impulse-control, social competence, positive peer relations and interpersonal problems-solving skills. In addition, I do individualized counseling and interventions. http://www.youth-guidance.org/here/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/BAM-Crime-Lab-PR.pdf, http://chicagotonight.wttw.com/2012/07/16/becoming-man Show less
