Collaborative Problem Solving®

6-WEEK PARENT CLASS

Help for Caregivers Raising Kids with Challenging Behaviors

Having a child with behavior challenges can feel lonely and leave parents and caregivers feeling lost. Traditional rewards and consequences have been ineffective, despite everyone's best efforts.

But there is HOPE!

The Collaborative Problem Solving® approach is an evidence-based method to managing challenging behavior that promotes the understanding that challenging kids lack the skill - not the will - to behave; specifically, skills related to problem-solving, flexibility and frustration tolerance.

What is Collaborative Problem Solving®?

Collaborative Problem Solving® (CPS) is an evidence-based approach developed by Think:Kids, a program based in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA. CPS is a big shift when it comes to understanding your child's challenging behaviors and what to do about it.

CPS is proven to:

  • Reduce challenging behavior
  • Increase compliance
  • Improve family relationships
  • Help your child build the skills they lack
