Positive Behavioral Interventions
Workshop
Do you worry about your child’s well being? Do you sometimes feel like you are at the end of your rope?
Children with behavioral health needs do not come with a manual! The need to effectively understand and respond to these challenges is essential. This workshop will offer a framework to understand the nature of your child’s behavior and methods to flexibly respond to the needs your child presents. Positive Behavioral Supports emphasizes practical ideas about how to meet your child where they are at and utilize their motivation to increase success. Understanding and using Stage of Change concepts, maximizing provider involvement and enhancing natural supports will be emphasized to provide usable tools that can be applied in a variety of real life situations.

We are a gathering of parents, grandparents and foster parents who have children with special mental health needs who are learning from our own experiences, sharing our knowledge, our pain and our successes with other parents. We use parenting education, some referral services and a lot of emotional support! We offer no guarantees, only hope, sharing, caring and perhaps some helpful suggestions. We have been there; we know how you feel and You Are Not Alone! For more information about this group, please call:
