Program info
Emotional and behavioral health disorders are on the rise and can last a lifetime leading to long-term challenges if not addressed. Our goal is to provide children, families, educators and caregivers the tools needed to help mitigate behavioral and emotional challenges that impact learning, social development, and well-being.
This training will focus on:
- Theories regarding evidence based mental health interventions
- How the brain develops and grows including neuroplasticity and sensory processing
- How to assess current functioning including life skills, perceived competence and executive function
- How to develop successful interventions
