Session 1: "High-Risk" Students: Strategies for Positively Influencing Children & Adolescents' Behavioral, Emotional and Social Success

Egg Harbor, WI US
July 22, 2024 to July 26, 2024
This workshop is designed to prepare educators AND mental health professionals who will be working with individuals considered to be at "high-risk" for having challenges this coming school year. Lectures, case examples, group discussions and activities will center around children and adolescents who are at-risk because of having experienced adverse childhood experiences and/or having been identified with a developmental disability (e.g., Autism), disruptive behavior disorder, and/or mental health challenge (e.g., Anxiety and Depression). Our focus will be on highlighting means to adapting cognitive-behavioral and other evidence-based strategies for practical use across school, home, and community settings. We will highlight a collaborative process, and provide the participants with tools, that will support skill acquisition and generalization across settings.
