Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Hanover Parent Advisory Council presents nationally known expert Dr.
Ross Greene on Collaborative Problem Solving: skills for understanding and
helping kids with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges on Tuesday,
April 5th, 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. at the Hanover Middle School Library, 45
Whiting Street.
This seminar is for parents, teachers and caregivers looking for answers to
questions like:
"Why is this kid acting this way??
"How come what works for other kids isn’t working for this one??
"What can I do instead??
Ross W. Greene, Ph.D., is the originator of a model of psychosocial
treatment for challenging kids called Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS),
as described in his books The Explosive Child and Lost at School. He is
Associate Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard
Medical School, on the professional staff in the Department of Psychology at
the Cambridge Health Alliance, adjunct Associate Professor in the Department
of Psychology at Virginia Tech, and Senior Lecturer in the school psychology
program in the Department of Education at Tufts University.
Dr. Greene is also the founder of a non-profit organization called Lives in
the Balance – which aims to provide advocacy and support for behaviorally
challenging kids and their parents, teachers, and other caregivers, and to
disseminate the CPS model through no-cost web-based programming. He
consults extensively to general and special education schools, inpatient and
residential facilities, and systems of juvenile detention, and lectures
widely throughout the world.
The Hanover Parent Advisory Council is a parent group whose mission is to
work toward understanding, respect, support and appropriate education for
all children with learning differences in our community. The Hanover PAC
will provide an opportunity for parents to network and share information as
well as a way to work constructively with our schools to make them the best
they can be for all children.
