Event Details

The York Region Chapter of Parents for Children's Mental Health

Invites you to learn more about Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS)

from Dr. Ross Greene.


Dr. Ross W. Greene is Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the originator of the Collaborative Problem Solving approach. He is the author of the highly acclaimed booksThe Explosive Child and Lost at School.  He lectures all over the world.

 

Dr. Greene founded Lives in the Balance to advocate on behalf of kids with social, emotional, and behavioural challenges and their parents,teachers, and other caregivers, and to provide free, web-based resources to help people learn about and implement the CPS model.  His  Lives in the Balance website is an amazing source of information.

 

"A major premise of this (approach) is that these children do not choose to be explosive and noncompliant – any more than a child would choose to have a reading disability – but are delayed in the development of skills that are crucial to being flexible and tolerating frustration."  Dr. Ross Greene
