CPS Tier One Training

Presented by Think:Kids certified professional trainers, Hallie Carpenter EdS, NCSP and Heather Johnson LCSW, this 2-1/2 day intensive training is intended for mental health clinicians, educators, parents, and community partners. Participants should have some introductory exposure to the model, and have interest in becoming more proficient in this innovative approach. Relationally based, CPS views challenging behavior as a learning disability of some very crucial cognitive (thinking) skills necessary to handle the demands of everyday life and not the result of a childs willfulness or poor parenting. Through a more empathetic and accurate understanding of what is getting in a childs way, we (parents, educators, clinicians) are better able to intervene to support children through a collaborative process of teaching skills and solving problems.
