No Such Thing As a Bad Kid: Understanding and Responding to Children and Youth with Emotional & Behavioral Challenges Using Positive, Strength-Based Approaches
Date: Monday, February 22, 2016
Registration Begins: 8:30 AM; Workshop: 9:00 AM Until 3:30 PM
Cost: $75.00+Tix Fee / Box Lunch: $10.00+Tix Fee / Group Discounts
Strength-based practice is an emerging approach to guiding at-risk children and youth that is exceptionally positive and inspiring. Its focus is on strength-building rather than flaw-fixing. It begins with the belief that every individual has or can develop strengths and utilize past successes to mitigate problem behavior and enhance functioning.
This full-day comprehensive workshop will highlight many of the key principles and techniques of this transforming modality.
Areas covered include:
What is strength-based practice & the power of a positive attitude & culture;
positive emotions and the functioning of the brain; strength-based communication principles and techniques - including re-framing, using solution focused questions and inspirational metaphors;
self-esteem building & activities for at-risk children and youth; how to help cognitively inflexible young people; the importance of being family centered;
why, how, and when to use incentive plans;
the importance of controlling personal emotions (i.e. managing number one first); respectful limit setting;
And a host of creative cognitive behavioral strategies.
