Collaborative Problem Solving® (CPS) is a compassionate, evidence-based, trauma-informed approach that provides a philosophy and tools to address challenging behaviour. CPS is used in schools and programs across North America and has been demonstrated to build skills and relationships with students while reducing challenging behaviour. This is an introduction to CPS. This session helps educators reflect on their understanding of challenging behaviour and interventions to support students with challenging behaviour. Participants will learn about how the Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) approach describes why people demonstrate challenging behaviour and how CPS can address these behaviours. This session will help educators decide if CPS would be an effective approach to include in their practice and provide the information and resources to learn more. If you would like more information about CPS prior to the session, please visit https://thinkkids.org/.
