PAX GOOD BEHAVIOR GAME

The Pax Good Behavior Game is an evidence-based universal prevention intervention applied by teachers in the classroom. This evidence-based practice consists of a set of research-based strategies with origins in behavioral science, neuroscience, and cultural wisdom that operate together to improve children’s self-regulation. Teachers implement these strategies as part of their daily routines.

Testimonials

“We are grateful for the partnership and support we have received as a high school from the Sedro-Woolley RISE Coalition. Their work supporting our students and families, focusing on prevention and education around substance use and addiction has been instrumental. The Sedro-Woolley RISE Coalition helps run and organize our teen prevention group, WISH Club, We Inspire Safe Habits, making a huge difference for our students on a daily basis at school and has also helped fund pro-social activities for our youth, such as Spirit Busses to attend our SWHS Athletic events. We are grateful for our Coalition!!”
