The 200 interventions included in the Breakthrough Strategies to Teach and Counsel Troubled Youth Recorded Workshop will make working with difficult students less difficult. These methods are for use with youth and children ages 5 to 18. These potent behavior intervention strategies are designed to work when conventional approaches fail, and offer innovative, more effective answers for problems with aggressiveness, classroom management, motivation, impulsiveness, irresponsibility, withdrawal, ADHD, delinquency, school failure, and much more.

This powerful, distance learning workshop will turn you into a virtual encyclopedia of the newest and best interventions that exist. It also gives you an inside look at what causes youngsters to behave the way they do. You can't find these innovative problem-stopping methods, and compelling lesson plans and handouts anywhere else. This must-have continuing ed course actually shows you how to teach your youngsters to become compliant, motivated students with essential life skills and attitudes. The course can be viewed by your entire team, or you can use it individually. The full 10 hour recorded class on DVD, with 10 clock hours, and hundreds of reproducible worksheets costs $189.

People travel from Japan and Guam, criss cross the U.S., and brave winter snow storms to attend this class, but you can get the entire 10 hour workshop with a few clicks of your mouse. You won't miss even 1 of the 200 solutions we pack into this class. You'll receive an answer packed workbook, and hundreds of reproducible lesson plan worksheets that will help you transform your youngsters' problem behaviors. Get all of the country's best techniques from author/trainer Ruth Herman Wells, M.S. These are the same methods you've seen featured in her live class, on the internet, and on cable TV, but now you can get the entire class and all her popular, cartoon-filled lessons and worksheets without leaving home. No matter what problems you are seeing in your office or classroom, this recorded workshop will give you immediate help.

College credit is available for $42, and 10 free clock hours are also offered. Call 1-800-545-5736, click here to read more details further down the page, or click here to e-mail us with questions. The homework isn't hard to do if you watch the entire course and take good notes. You'll earn one graduate credit in Special Education or Ed Counseling. That credit can normally be used towards your college degree, a salary increase, or in place of clock hours or CEUs, but check with your governing body to be sure.

The recorded workshop is approved in many states for social workers, psychologists, counselors, drug counselors, MFCCs, pastoral counselors, MFTs, and many other disciplines. There is usually no extra charge to receive clock hours. Call 1-800-545-5736, click here to get more information from farther down on this page, or click here to e-mail us to ask if we have your clock hours. You don't need to complete any homework to earn clock hours. You'll simply watch the workshop, take brief pre- and post-tests, then return the tests to us. It's that easy!

Purchase the recorded workshop and you can attend any live session free or half-price. You attend free if you register with someone else, or, come for half-price if you register alone. Click here to see the live class schedule.

WORKSHOP CONTENT

This problem-stopping, information-packed professional development inservice delivers the best answers for your worst kid problems. This must-have seminar is packed with the new, more effective interventions you need, and provides you with hundreds of reproducible, attention-grabbing behavior change worksheets.

The Breakthrough Strategies to Teach and Counsel Troubled Youth Recorded Workshop is packed with powerful, ready-to-use answers for violent, withdrawn, non-compliant, defiant, abused, unmotivated, at-risk, truant and delinquent youth and children grades K-12. If you are a teacher, counselor, special ed teacher, juvenile court worker, psychologist, social worker, or mental health staff member, you'll use every word of this distance learning continuing ed workshop.

This home study workshop delivers what it promises to teachers, counselors, justice workers and foster parents: 200 ready-to-use, "must have" tools-- even for extreme violence. We give you the 3 types of kids at highest risk of extreme violence like school shootings, then show you how to intervene completely differently with each type. We give preventive strategies that every contemporary youth professional must have in these turbulent times. This is the one training workshop that actually delivers exactly what it promises.

The Breakthrough Strategies Recorded Workshop covers a huge array of "kid problems"-- even the most difficult and serious problems, everything from work refusal to serious family problems to depression to school failure and poor self-esteem. We'll even provide the "must-have" safety tools you need to understand and successfully intervene with today's severely troubled and distressed youth and children. These are real-world answers that you probably didn't get in college, but need right away to safely and effectively do your job.

If your training prepared you to work with Beaver Cleaver, but you have Beavis and Butthead showing up, we have the answers you need. This professional development workshop is different than any other. We really do deliver hundreds of real-world answers that really work. If you work with at-risk, high risk, delinquent, uncooperative, disrespectful, sad or angry youngsters, you will use every word of this seminar.

You'll learn unforgettable devices to motivate the unmotivated. You'll hear kids tell what they need to function despite coping with big family problems. You learn no-excuses impulse control devices for delinquent, oppositional and hyperactive kids. You'll learn often over-looked methods that convince aggressive kids to moderate their behavior. You'll hear what to do about work refusers and non-compliant kids. Plus, we'll show you who is your hardest-to-manage kid, and give dozens of critical do's and don't's that you were never taught in college, so you can best manage even your most poorly behaved, most at-risk, and aggressive youngsters.
