On August 19th at 10 a.m. (CST) GCPD will host Dr. Ross W. Greene with a session on Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) designed to help children with challenging behaviors. CPS is an evidence-based model of psychosocial treatment originated and developed by Dr. Greene. Rather than focusing on kids’ challenging behaviors (and modifying them), CPS helps kids and caregivers solve the problems that are causing those behaviors. The problem solving is collaborative (not unilateral) and proactive (not reactive), which is effective in improving behavior and enhancing skills. Not only that, but the CPS model has been shown to ensure that expectations are in line with a child’s capacities and dramatically reduce or eliminate discipline referrals, detentions, suspensions, and the use of restraint and seclusion.

Dr. Greene is the originator of the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model and author of the books The Explosive Child, Lost at School, Lost & Found, and Raising Human Beings.
