SUMMER INTENSIVE TRAININGS FOR
CLINICIANS AND EDUCATORS
 
For the past six summers as Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Center Collaborative Problem Solving, Dr. Stuart Ablon has conducted 3-day advanced training workshops in Boston for clinicians and educators. This summer Think:Kids and the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) are proud to offer intensive training workshops featuring Dr. Ablon and the rest of the Think:Kids staff at The Liberty Hotel in Boston.
 
These three-day intensive trainings are intended for mental health clinicians and educators interested in becoming proficient in an innovative and evidence-based approach to understanding and  helping children and adolescents with behavioral challenges. The approach is described in the bestselling book, Treating Explosive Kids: The Collaborative Problem Solving Approach. Participants with some prior exposure will learn to advance their skills in applying the model through a combination of didactic lectures, role-playing, videotape examples, case presentations, and breakout groups with topics of specific interest to clinicians and educators. 
 
By offering these trainings through Think:Kids and the #1 rated Department of Psychiatry in the United States for the past 12 years, we are pleased to announce some exciting enhancements: more personal attention and individualized feedback during breakout sessions from Think:Kids staff; additional opportunities for networking; continuing education credits available at no extra cost; online registration; and reduced tuition and group discounts. Finally, due to Liberty Hotel's relationship with MGH, the trainings will be held at one of the most exciting new hotels in the world.
 
For Tier 1 training, July 15-17 or Tier 2 training August 12-14, 2009 please click here if you are an educator or click here if you are a clinician to learn more and download registration form.
 
Please note that you will need to create a log-in if you are new to the MGH Psychiatry Academy which is handling registration for us.
 
Email us at info@thinkkids.org if you plan to register a group of 3 or more in order to receive a promotion code they can use to get a 25% discount. 
 
Kindly remember that we do not encourage people to attend both Tier 1 and Tier 2 in the same summer - but of course we'd love to have you back again next year!
