As evidenced by the seals shown above, our order and registration forms are secure, plus we can accept PayPal, Google
Checkout and credit cards. We are
happy to provide any information you need to learn about us. We have 20 years of letters, evaluations,
newspaper articles, university affiliations, and accreditations we can share with you. We are an
authorized vendor for thousands of school districts, agencies and government entities. We have been
on the internet since 1996. We have trained thousands and thousands of youth professionals from
the Florida Keys to the Arctic Circle. We have sold thousands and thousands of books and posters.
We have won dozens of awards. Just let us know what information you need to learn about us.
You can contact us by clicking here. You can also learn much more about us on that page. You will see links

a socially responsible company. We donate 1% of our income from book and poster sales to worthy causes that benefit children. For the past
several years, that has meant a donation of a Christmas present for every single resident of Rosement School for Girls, a residential treatment center
in Portland, Oregon. When you do business with Youth Change, a percentage of your purchase will directly
help distressed children. We're not only a safe place to do business, we are a good place to do business.
How long has Youth Change been

existence. We host general session Breakthrough

workshops and posters.
What is your privacy policy?

What's an ebook and would I really be able to read it instantly?
Now you can really solve your worst kid problems immediately.
Click here to go to the information/order page for our printable instant All The Best Answers for Worst Kid Problems
ebooks. That series includes our popular Maximum-Strength Motivation-Makers, Anti-Social Youth
and Conduct Disorders and Forgotten Favorite Strategies books.
An ebook is just like a regular book but you can get it instantly. It's shockingly fast how quickly you can order
and get our ebooks, usually in about 60 seconds to 2 minutes from start to finish. It simply takes
about 5 clicks and a credit card.
Best of all, our ebooks are printable, meaning you can print them out once to make a hard copy so you can read them
anywhere, not just on your computer screen. We have excellent customer service if you need more help. Just
click here to contact us with any other questions.
I can't figure out where to order
the instant, printable ebooks. They don't seem to be on the regular order form.
Because you immediately receive
your ebook, you must order from a special order page, different from the order form
you use to order items that will be shipped. To order ebooks,
click here to go to the ebook page and click on
the picture of the ebook(s) you want to order. A new page pops up. It has a box on it with a little order form. In about 5 clicks more, you should have your book. It is really just that fast.
Click here for the regular order form to purchase
all other items. Click here to contact us if you have special ordering needs or want to pay with a method other than credit card. We
are happy to help with special orders. Please contact us
with any other questions.
Where did all your creative ideas for interventions come from?
Many of our ideas were honed in schools and agencies with students just like yours. Other times,
we get ideas from the teachers, counselors, principals, and others who attend our Breakthrough
Strategies to Teach and Counsel Troubled Youth
general session workshops
around the U.S. or invite us to present our workshop at their site.
We
have been presenting our strategies at Breakthrough
Strategies to Teach and Counsel Troubled Youth
workshops and conferences for nearly two decades now. Some of our very favorite, highly effective
ideas and methods are starting to "fall out" of our presentations as great new ideas are invented. To keep these
dynamite oldies in use, we collected some of our best, most powerful, longtime methods in our
Forgotten Favorite Strategies book. (Click to view) You can download it immediately as an instant
download, printable ebook, or get it as a book or audio book.
Is it true
that schools and agencies can host your Breakthrough
Strategies to Teach and Counsel Troubled Youth workshop at their site and make money by charging others to attend?
Yes, you can build your budget and train
your staff at the same time. You simply plan your event, publicize it, and charge others to attend. You can set any tuition
you wish, and you keep any profit you make after paying our fee. It's that easy. We provide a mail list, the master copy for
your flyer, college credit, clock hours, and an awesome workshop. We can also help you get media attention for hosting such
an important event for your community. A recent on-site course drew coverage from a major newspaper, giving the sponsor
valuable attention in the community. Plus, you'll train your staff to have the newest and best methods to help troubled and
problem children and youth.
Click here for more information or call 1-800-545-5736. Our workshop really
can make an easy, successful fund raiser.
What theory or philosophy
are you using?
Our methods are extremely
eclectic, using all widely accepted mental health and educational approaches that work. Our goal
is to have you be a "walking
encyclopedia" of all the newest and best interventions that exist. We keep that as our focus and shy away
from less concrete matters. Our approaches easily fit most site rules, philosophies, policies and staff views.
We are simply turbo-charging your techniques. Our materials and workshops do not focus on theory as most
professionals learned lots of theory in college but are starving for "real world" solutions that work. That is
where we keep our focus.
Is there any part of your site that is free?
This is a massive site with thousands of free resources.
However, in order to get the thorough help you will likely need, it is probably
necessary to purchase a
book (click), or come to a
Breakthrough Strategies to Teach and Counsel Troubled Youth workshop
(click here). While there are many, many resources to sample free all over the site,
the sampling just gives you a taste of our resources, showing you just a tiny fraction of our
thousands of effective, innovative behavior intervention methods. So, for example, you will just find a few resources
for motivation vs. getting one of our books on motivation with hundreds of unique methods.
For the vast majority of students, you will need much more than a brief sampling of methods to turnaround
longstanding and on-going behavior problems.
The volume shown
at right (click for details)
is a much faster option than searching through our huge site or hunting for hours on the internet
for free methods. We can save you some searching. Because our techniques are so cutting-edge and new,
you will not find more effective, more innovative methods to turnaround problem and troubled students
anywhere else-- on or off the internet.
To go to the
part of our site that has the best free sampling of our problem-stopping behavior intervention methods,
visit our Solution Center by clicking here.
You should also order free samples and our free Problem-Student Problem-Solver internet magazine
by clicking here.

You have tons of different resource items.
What's the fastest way to figure out which ones I need?
Call us toll-free at 1-800-545-5736 for
specific recommendations that fit your exact needs. Or, you can
click here to go to our Fast Solution-Finder that lists all our
resources sorted by problem type so you can see all our solutions for aggression; all our solutions for
poor motivation, and so on.
I love your books and posters
but we have no money. Do you donate to schools or non-profits?
Nearly everyone who buys from
us or comes to a class, works for a school or non-profit so we can't just donate to everyone who has a bad budget.
But we do save damaged copies of our books and posters and sell them at half-price. (A sampling of our books
and posters is displayed below.) If you have a rotten budget and want a damaged copy for half-price, call us
at 1-503-982-4220 to see if we have the item you want in damaged condition.
