Level 1 Group & Level 2 Groups:
These groups are now offered together as an 8 week course! 
Please check our schedule for start dates!
Level 1 Group: The basics of Collaborative Problem Solving, an exciting, research based approach to parenting. Although the CPS approach was designed to work with explosive or challenging children, it works wonderfully with typically developing children as well. Participants learn through a lively combination of instruction, discussion, small group activities, and supplemental reading.
Level 2 Group: Builds on the basics and focuses on applying CPS principals to every day family situations. Group members are required to have participated in a Level I group or an equivalent (Exceptions must be pre-approved by an instructor.) Participants learn through interaction with the presenters and other group members as they bring real-life situations to the group for review and fine-tuning. Please check our schedule for start dates!

Kids Skills Group: Offered, when possible, for kids while their parents learn about CPS in Level 1 or Level 2. The Kid's group explores CPS by learning about some kids named Raymond, Mike, and Michelle who have struggles in their own lives and figure out some creative ways to problem-solve! The group focuses on expressing what's bugging them, listening, brainstorming... Just the sorts of things that will help them through Plan B!
