So there’s definitely something for you, your school, or your treatment facility.
WORKSHOPS & TRAINING
Whether you’re an educator, parent, mental health clinician, physician, or staff member in a therapeutic treatment facility, if you’re looking for exposure to or proficiency in the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model, we offer a variety of training options to meet your needs. Among the most popular is Dr. Greene’s live, virtual 2-day training, offered several times every year (the next one is April 24 and 25, but it’s also available on-demand). We also host two virtual, annual conferences. And we also offer free on-demand programming.
If you need help deciding which training is best for you or your school or treatment facility, please contact us…we’d be happy to assist.
SCHOOLS/TREATMENT FACILITIES
Get Your Feet Wet, Virtually or In Person:
Registration is now open for Dr. Greene’s live, virtual, 2-day virtual training, which is a really good way to get oriented to the basics and many of the nuances of the CPS model. The next one is on April 24 & 25, 2025. Register here! If you can’t join in live, your registration gives you access to the recording.
And if you don’t want to wait — or if those dates don’t work for you — our most recent 2-day training is available on demand.
If your primary goal is to reduce or eliminate restraints and seclusions, you’ll want to check out our newest video, 65 Minutes to Fewer Restraints and Seclusions (it’s $39).
And if you want a training – virtual or in-person – tailored to your specific needs, we’re happy to make that happen as well.
Get Into the Weeds:
If your school or treatment facility has already had some exposure to the CPS model – either through a prior training or through one of Dr. Greene’s books – and you want to take the next step, you’ll probably want to schedule a few consultation sessions for your leadership/implementation team, to see if our next level of training is for you. Our Director of Training will meet with you to gauge your understanding of the model, help you understand what’s involved in rolling out the CPS model in your building/facility, assess your readiness, and answer any questions you may have.
If/when your team is ready to take advantage of coaching, a Lives in the Balance trainer will work virtually with a “core group” of your staff on a weekly or bi-weekly basis (60-minute sessions). Your core group will consist of 3-8 staff members who will be trained first in the CPS model, by submitting and receiving feedback on work samples they submit of the assessment tool of the CPS model (the Assessment of Skills and Unsolved Problems) and the problem-solving process (Plan B).
Consultation can be focused on transforming the disciplinary culture of a school or treatment facility or more specifically on reducing or eliminating the use of restraint and seclusion. Training is available in English, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and French.
INDIVIDUAL EDUCATORS, MENTAL HEALTH CLINICIANS, and PHYSICIANS
Get Your Feet Wet, Virtually
Again, Dr. Greene’s 2-day virtual training (described above) is a great way to get oriented to the basics and some of the nuances of the CPS model.
Really Get Into the Weeds: Certification Trainings
Certification trainings are for individual clinicians, educators, and other providers interested in becoming a certified provider in the CPS model. These intensive virtual trainings provide supervised practice and feedback in 24 weekly, 60-minute supervision sessions. The first ten weeks are focused on the use of the Assessment of Skills and Unsolved Problems [ASUP] and Plan B. Participants who demonstrate satisfactory proficiency in these two components can then move on to participate in the subsequent 14-weeks of training, in which skills related to explaining the model, demonstrating it, and coaching it are the focal point. Each supervision group is limited to six participants, and we typically run multiple groups simultaneously throughout the year. Submission of weekly work samples are required, so access to a sufficient number of kids and families/teachers is necessary. Participation in one of Dr. Greene’s 2-day trainings (described above) is a prerequisite. Upon successful completion of this training, participants are certified to demonstrate, coach, and provide feedback to staff in their schools and treatment facilities and provide the CPS model in their outpatient settings. Certified providers are also eligible to receive additional training to train outside of their settings. These trainings are offered in English, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and French. You can submit your application here. In general, we encourage some prior experience in using the model before applying for this training. If you still have questions, please read our FAQs and/or contact us at litbcertification@gmail.com.
PARENTS
You may have seen this on our homepage, but we’ll be launching our new platform for parents in fall, 2025. It’s going to be so helpful to so many parents! In the meantime, lots of parents participate in Dr. Greene’s virtual 2-day training described above. And we’re also very excited to offer our new AI Program to give you practice at writing unsolved problems and solving those problems collaboratively and proactively. So be sure to sign up for that.
ANNUAL CONFERENCES
Over 2200 participants were registered for our virtual 2025 Annual Summit, which was held on Friday, April 11, 2025, with the theme Current Thinking in Autism and Pathological Demand Avoidance, featuring keynote speakers Dr. Shelley Moore, Dr. Barry Prizant, Dr. Judy Eagan, Sophie Leman (who is diagnosed with Autism/ADHD with a PDA profile), Dr. Destiny Huff, and our own Dr. Ross Greene. What an amazing day! If you missed it, you can still watch it on demand!
Save the date! Our virtual, free 2025 Children’s Mental Health Advocacy Conference is on October 21st! In the meantime, our 2024 Conference featured dozens of state and federal lawmakers, advocates, those with lived experiences with punitive, exclusionary discipline, and experts on alternatives. It was an amazing day. If you missed it, here are the recordings for the three sections of the day:
