SALT PROGRAMME
Chris has written a behavioural therapy programme called the SALT Programme (Social skills And Life Training). It is designed to assist disengaged young people in dealing with social issues such as; anger, crime and anti-social behaviour.
The programme was successfully piloted at George Green School, Isle of Dogs, in January 2008. It was also featured on ITV's This Morning Programme when Chris was interviewed by Philip and Ruth. The programme has since been accredited by the Open College Network and is worth 3 credits towards an A-level.
