caption: Howard StevensonHoward Stevenson, Constance Clayton Professor of Urban Education at Penn GSE, has been awarded $60,000 from Temple University to support the Racial Empowerment Collaborative in its implementation of the Preventing Long-term Anger and Aggression in Youth (PLAAY) intervention. The PLAAY intervention integrates physical activity and culturally responsive group therapy to help youth with managing the stress of in-the-moment, face-to-face oppression related to race, gender, and disabilities, and help them make healthy decisions during those conflicts. This is a collaborative effort with Sally Gould-Taylor, associate professor and associate director of evaluation and research in the Institute on Disabilities at Temple University; Jason Javier-Watson, assistant principal for 9th and 10th grades at the St. Francis Catholic High School, Sacramento, California; and Kelsey Jones, assistant professor in education, health, and human services at the California State University San Marcos.
