Content
Treatment planning for students with emotional behavioral disorders not only includes a focus on the environment, but also on providing students with methods that address and manage the strong emotional responses they can experience throughout the educational day. Evidence-based cognitive-behavioral interventions (CBIs) are typically provided in special educational environments. However, with some adaptations, a number of these methods can also help serve students in a broad range of educational settings. These methods are aimed at helping students cope, solve problems, de-stress and develop intrinsic motivation. This unique hands-on, interactive training provides educators and clinicians with the key CBIs to help develop an effective milieu program that—in tandem with your students' mental health professionals—can provide support for emotional equanimity, the improvement of behavioral outcomes and positive participation in school.

Participants Will
- Discover methods to cultivate student values that lead to action plans aimed at improving intrinsic motivation toward learning, participation, and the development of positive future outcomes.
