December 8, 2011 York Chapter Presents - Ross Greene.....Get Your Tickets Now....
Dr. Ross W. Greene is Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the originator of the Collaborative Problem Solving approach. He is the author of the highly acclaimed books
The Explosive Child and Lost at School. He lectures all over the world.
Dr. Greene founded Lives in the Balance to advocate on behalf of kids with social, emotional, and behavioural challenges and their parents,
teachers, and other caregivers, and to provide free, web-based resources to help people learn about and implement the CPS model. His Lives in the Balance website is an amazing source of information.
"A major premise of this (approach) is that these children do not choose to be explosive and noncompliant – any more than a child would choose to have a reading disability – but are delayed in the development of skills that are crucial to being flexible and tolerating frustration." Dr. Ross Greene

About Our Children's
Having a child with a mental health disorder can be confusing and overwhelming. As parents, we need information so that we can make decisions that are best for our child. Emotional support from someone who has been there can also be very helpful.
The causes of these problems vary from child to child.
Research-based knowledge suggests that biological, social, psychological and environmental factors are all important.
A wide range of therapeutic, educational, and social services are essential to address the need of these children.
About Our Families
Family is all-inclusive. Families can be from all incomes, education, racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. They can be single parent or two parent families. They can be birth parents, foster parents, adoptive parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents ~~~ they all need help, they all need support, and they all need tools to cope.
Our Goals—To Educate, Empower, Support
To advance the unique needs of children with mental health diagnoses and their families, to dissolve the stigma attached to children’s mental illness, to encourage and recommend research, prevention, early intervention, family support, and family-centred and family-driven care, to work with mental health agencies and government to ensure that children and their families with these unique needs and struggles have access to community based services to help them reach their full potential.
