Participants will be randomly assigned to either the F2F program or a psycho-educational attention control PAC group All participants will attend 40-minute treatment sessions twice a week for a total of 10 weeks The sessions will occur during the girls lunch or recess period Participants assigned to the F2F program will learn how to identify signs of physiological arousal react to a potential conflict while generating alternatives to the solution and apply previously discussed social cognitive strategies to different situations Culturally specific cartoons videotape illustrations and role playing will be used to portray these improved strategies and behaviors Participants assigned to the PAC group will learn different organization and homework strategies as well as how to improve their study skills in an attempt to improve their overall academic performance Outcomes will be assessed through observation school reports and questionnaires for all participants at baseline immediately after treatment and 9 months after treatment
