Description
CareKnowledge is thrilled to be able to offer an in-depth 2-day training course with Dr Ross Greene, which will provide a deeper understanding of how to adopt the CPS model in your practice. Those who participate in the training will leave with an understanding of the theory underpinning the model, knowledge of its evolution over the past 8-10 years, and practical assessment and intervention tools that can be used in practice.The CPS model has transformed thinking and practices worldwide in various services. It has been associated with dramatic reductions in adult-child conflict, concerning behaviours, school suspensions and exclusions, restraint use, and other harmful responses to children.The model represents a significant departure from discipline-as-usual: it focuses on solving problems rather than modifying behaviour, emphasises collaborative rather than unilateral solutions, encourages proactive rather than reactive intervention, de-emphasises diagnostic categories, and provides practical, research-based tools for assessment and intervention.
For:
Anyone who has an interest in Dr Ross Greene’s Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model of care and is committed to adopting the model in their interactions with children
Learning outcomes:
- Able to describe the five paradigm shifts of the CPS model, and how the model focuses on problems (and solving them) rather than on the behaviours that are being caused by those problems (and modifying them); the advantages of collaborative (rather than unilateral) problem solving; and the importance and feasibility of proactive (rather than reactive) intervention.
- Develop on understanding of the lagging skills that are involved in solving problems, handling frustration, being flexible and adaptable, and regulating emotions, and the unsolved problems that are causing concerning behaviours
- Able to describe the three basic mechanisms by which adults handle unsolved problems and unmet expectations in children (Plans A, B, and C) and what is accomplished by each
- Able to describe the three steps of Plan B
- Able to describe how to effectively implement Plan B and the various roadblocks that can occur in implementation (and how to overcome them)
