The first is this Friday. I'm sorry for the late posting but hope anyone who wants to can still get in. The second is in March. Ross Greene and Bruce Perry are well known in their work with children. These should be great seminars. I'll report what I learn at both!

ABOUT ROSS W. GREENE, PH.D.
Ross W. Greene, Ph.D., is the originator of the Collaborative Problem Solving approach and author of the recently released book, Lost At School: Why Our Most Vulnerable, At-Risk Kids Still Fall Through The Cracks and How We Can Help Them. He is also author of the highly acclaimed book, The Explosive Child, along with a third book, Treating Explosive Kids: The Collaborative Problem Solving Approach. Dr. Greene is Associate Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. His research has been funded by the Stanley Research Institute, the National Institutes of Mental Health, the U.S. Department of Education, and the Maine Juvenile Justice Advisory Group. He lectures widely throughout the world, and lives near Boston with his wife and two kids.
Dr. Greene will share his expertise on research in the neurosciences over the past 30 years. His Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) model posits that challenging behavior is a form of developmental delay and the byproduct of lagging cognitive skills in the global domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving. CPS helps adults teach these lagging cognitive skills and help kids solve the problems precipitating their challenging behavior while reducing the frequency and intensity of challenging behaviors. The model, which represents a dramatic departure from conventional wisdom and practice, has been found to be highly effective in an array of settings, including families, general and special education schools, therapeutic group homes, and inpatient, residential, and juvenile detention facilities.
Participants in this workshop will leave with an understanding of the underpinnings of the CPS model and practical assessment and intervention tools that can be brought back to and used in these diverse settings.
Child Guidance Center is a nonprofit organization that provides mental health services to children, adolescents, and their families in Lincoln, NE.
