Description

Strength-based practice is an emerging approach to guiding children, youth, families, and those with emotional and behavioral challenges that is exceptionally positive and inspiring. Its focus is on strength-building rather than flaw-fixing. It begins with the belief that every young person has or can develop strengths and utilize past successes to mitigate problem behavior and enhance social and academic functioning. This full-day, comprehensive workshop will highlight many of the key principles and techniques of this transforming modality. Areas covered include: What is strength-based practice & describing the power of a positive attitude and culture; the effects of trauma and positive emotions on the brain; strength-based communication principles and techniques, including reframing, using solution-focused questions, positive-predicting, and inspirational metaphors; encouraging growth vs. fixed mindsets; self-esteem building and activities for at-risk children and youth; how to help cognitively-inflexible young people; the importance of being family-friendly; why, how, and when to use incentive plans; the importance of controlling personal emotions (i.e., managing number one first); respectful limit-setting; and a host of creative cognitive behavioral strategies
