Relational Neuroscience of Trauma-Responsive Practices & the Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) Overview® (Think:Kids, MGH) are appropriate for:

• Educators (Teachers, Administrators, Specialists, Counselors, Preschool Educators, etc.)
• Juvenile Justice, Law Enforcement & Other First Responders
• After-School and Childcare Providers
• Mental Health & Medical/Pediatric Professionals
• Parents and Caregivers of Children and Adults

Relational Neuroscience of Trauma-Responsive Practices lays a foundation for shifting systems and applying CPS:

• Compares how traditional systems fall short of aligning to trauma-informed practice as compared to neuroscience-aligned practices
• Frames up how nervous system impacts take place in the presence of trauma, and how that nervous system can be repaired/repatterned
• Provides actionable steps and strategies to continue down the road to become more trauma-responsive

Relationally based and neurobiologically-grounded, CPS views challenging behavior as a learning disability or delayed development of some very crucial cognitive (thinking) and self-regulation skills necessary to handle the demands of everyday life, such as:

• Frustration tolerance
• Cognitive flexibility
• Social thinking skills
• Considering their impact on others
• Telling others what’s bothering them
• Expressing thoughts, needs, concerns in words

Through a more empathetic and accurate understanding of what is getting in a child's (or adult's) way, we (parents/caregivers, educators, clinicians) are better able to intervene to support children (and adults) through a collaborative process of teaching/training skills and solving problems.

In this training, participants will be presented with initial exposure to this approach, including the comparison of how this trauma-informed approach more effectively addresses behaviors in a durable fashion than traditional approaches, and a beginning understanding of the Assessment, Planning & Interventions Phases.
