In this workshop, Dr. Brooks will provide a strength-based framework for working with challenging and resistant youth that can be applied in behavioral health, educational and other settings.

The seminar will focus on the negative mindsets of challenging youth, the importance of identifying and reinforcing each child’s strengths or “islands of competence,” and strategies to nurture positive mindsets.

The program will feature many case studies to illustrate these approaches.

A light lunch and refreshments are included in the program.

Pre-registration is required.

This program is made possible by a generous

grant from the Union Savings Bank

Foundation.
