“No Such Thing as a Bad Kid”
Understanding & Responding to Troubled Children & Youth
For Professionals Working with At-Risk Children & Youth
Using Strength-Based Approach Two-Day, Train the Trainer

Guest Speaker:
Charles Appelstein, MSW

Seminar Description: Strength-based practice is an emerging approach to helping troubled children and youth that is more positive and hope-inspiring. Its focus is on strength-building rather than flaw-fixing. It begins with the belief that every individual has strengths and past successes that can be utilized to stop problem behavior and enhance decision making. This two-day comprehensive workshop will highlight many of the key principles and techniques of this life-changing, inspiring approach to guiding high-risk young people and their families. Areas covered include: The power of a positive attitude; strength-based communication principles and techniques - including reframing, solution focused techniques, and de-escalation approaches; self-esteem building & activities; how to help inflexible and explosive young people; the importance of being family centered; why, how, and when to use incentive plans; the importance of controlling personal emotions (i.e. managing number on
e first); how to prevent problem behavior; respectful limit setting; and a host of creative cognitive behavioral strategies.
