Do you struggle with managing challenging behaviors of the youth in your program?  Would you like to learn a way to facilitate youths’ self-management skills when they misbehave? In this Behavior Management series participants will learn how to reframe all youth behavior as opportunities for youth to learn responsibility, emotion management and problem-solving skills.
