Brief Summary
The overall purpose of this project is to determine whether school personnel implementing a two-tier School-wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS, an evidence based intervention) program for typically developing children as well as children with, or at risk for, externalizing or anxiety disorders can implement the components of the program with the same level of fidelity, integrity and clinical effectiveness when they receive a low level of support (consultation) from their coaches and supervisors as they can with a high level of support (consultation and coaching).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Level of Support During Implementation
To determine whether program fidelity and integrity for Tier 1 (for all students) and Tier 2 (for at risk and high risk students) would differ between schools receiving a high level of support (consultation and coaching) and schools receiving a low level of support (consultation) for program implementers.

Study Arms (2)
Internalizing Disorders
ACTIVE COMPARATORStudents identified as being at-risk for or meeting criteria for Internalizing Disorders will assigned to this intervention arm. They will receive the FRIENDS for Life intervention. FRIENDS is a group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) intervention, based on a theoretical model, which addresses cognitive, physiological and behavioral processes that are seen to interact in the development and perpetuation of excessive anxiety.
Externalizing Disorders
ACTIVE COMPARATORStudents identified as being at-risk for or meeting criteria for Externalizing Disorders will be assigned to this intervention arm. They will receive the Coping Power Program (CPP) intervention. CPP is a cognitive-behavioral, multi-component group intervention for elementary and middle school students at risk for externalizing behavior disorders. In addition to anger management, the CPP includes units on goal setting, emotional awareness, relaxation training, social skills training, problem solving, and handling peer pressure.
