Collaborative & Proactive Solutions

5 Week Skill Enhancement Course

Designed for individual clinicians, educators, and other providers working directly with challenging youth and their caregivers. Over the course of five 60-minute group teleconference sessions, participants receive coaching and feedback from certified providers in CPS to increase their skills in the application of the CPS model. The first session is focused on honing skills in using the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems (ALSUP).  The remaining four sessions are focused on Plan B, and involve having participants audiotape their use of Plan B with actual kids and their caregivers so as to receive explicit coaching and feedback. A recording of your Plan B attempts with KIDS will be due for each session. Registration is limited to six participants per training.

Prerequisite: Prior knowledge of the CPS model, either through attendance at one of Dr. Greene’s one-day trainings or reading The Explosive Child, Lost at School, or Lost and Found. You'll also need access to a few kids and caregivers to permit practice in the use of the model.  

Supervision Sessions will be held on Tuesdays from 2:00 to 3:00 EST. Dates are September 21, September 28, October 5, October 12, October 19, 2021

FAQs

How will I share my ALSUPs and recordings with the group leader? A Dropbox will be created that only the training group can access. Your email address will be used to invite you to join the Dropbox. 

When should I submit audio recordings into the Dropbox? Audio recordings need to be in the Dropbox at least three days prior to the supervision session to provide ample time for review.

How will confidentiality be maintained during the course? Prior to the start of the course, each participant will sign a form indicating that, as with any supervision group, all information shared as part of this learning experience is to be held in strictest confidence. Audio recordings are not downloaded onto any participants' computer, nor that of the leader, and recordings will be deleted from the Dropbox folder once they have been reviewed. You'll want to explain how the recording is to be used to the kids/families who are being recorded, and possibly have them sign a consent form.

How will the sessions be conducted? They will be conducted by Zoom Video Conferencing 

Can I contact the organizer with questions? You can email Liz@livesinthebalance.org for additional information.

If I can't take this course now, will there be others? Yes, we will be offering these skill enhancement trainings throughout the year, at various times of day.  

Can I receive a refund? You can receive a refund 7 days prior to the start of the course.
