Who We Are

Lives in the Balance is a dynamic, values-driven 501(c)(3) non-profit organization devoted to ensuring that all kids are understood and treated in ways hat are non-punitive, non-adversarial, proactive, and collaborative. We provide vast resources on the evidence-based model of care — call Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) — originated by Dr. Ross Greene, advocate on behalf of kids and their caregivers, and support and craft federal and state legislation aimed at sharply reducing or eliminating the use of punitive, exclusionary disciplinary practices.

“Kids do well if they can.”

– Dr. Ross Greene
