8 - Week Online Collaborative Problem Solving® Parent Group

8 Online sessions | Wednesdays: 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EST

Online Parent Group via Zoom

Think:Kids along with presenter, Margaret Johnson, LMSW invite parents to learn more about Collaborative Problem Solving® (CPS), the revolutionary, evidence-based approach for helping children develop the skills they need to manage their behavior.Connecting with other like-minded adults to learn about the Collaborative Problem Solving® (CPS) approach can be an invaluable experience. Our CPS Parent Groups provide much-needed support and access to resources.

This group alone or in conjunction with additional training, enables parents to successfully implement Collaborative Problem Solving with their child.

Through this group, parents will learn why children sometimes struggle to meet day-to-day expectations. If you’re putting the Collaborative Problem Solving® (CPS) approach to use with your child/partner, want to talk about your challenges and successes, or want to learn more about the approach – a CPS Parent Group can help answer questions, concerns, and provide the understanding you need to help your child develop the skills they need to be successful. Parent Group materials, breakout sessions, and opportunities for questions and answers will be a part of this highly-interactive, virtual parent group experience.
