Strength-based practice is an emerging approach to guiding children, youth, and families, and in particular, those with emotional and behavioral challenges, that is exceptionally positive and inspiring. Its focus is on strength-building rather than flaw-fixing. It begins with the belief that every young person has or can develop strengths and utilize past successes to mitigate problem behavior and enhance overall functioning.
Join Charlie Appelstein, MSW, a nationally prominent youth care specialist and author whose primary focus is on teaching positive, strength-based theories and techniques to professionals who guide at-risk children and youth, for this full-day comprehensive workshop.
