Crisis Intervention
Unfortunately, in today's society, students are more and more frequently confronted by extremely upsetting and even traumatic events. Issues going from terrorist attacks to student attacks, environmental catastrophes, and to the more common, but still painfully difficult to deal with, accidents, deaths, and inappropriate behaviors by adults in their lives. And, while school personnel are frequently the first and foremost responders, they, too, are often struggling to comprehend these events themselves as well as grappling with how to deal with them. In these situations, an experienced school psychologist can intervene to work directly with administration and faculty in understanding and dealing with their own feelings, with students and their feelings, and in helping the administration and faculty in working with the students on a continuing basis.

Teacher Training School Administrators who are conscientious and desirous of keeping their faculties up-to-date and motivated schedule "Teacher In-Service" Days. We provide an exceptional addition to those programs! We offer a presentation that is stimulating, interactive, thought provoking and a way for teachers to not only create a powerful, dynamic, positive impact in their classrooms, but to become happier with themselves and the work they do. Teachers walk away with, in addition to tools and insights, concrete techniques on how to be more effective on a one to one basis as well as establishing a richer, more creative learning environment. They can then take that basic, practical information and make it come alive in the classroom!

Administrative Enhancement A school is like any other management situation. Administrators, having expertise in education, need also to have expertise and ease in knowing how to create a supportive, comfortable environment so that all those working in their school, from custodial staff, to support staff, to faculty, enjoy coming to work and work to their fullest for the benefit of the students and the success of the institution. Sometimes there are just little techniques and suggestions that can help one change difficult situations into ones that can be handled with ease. An effective workshop can provide many tools and understanding. Additionally, having the opportunity to meet on a regular basis to air questions, problems, concerns, and grievances can often pave the way to deeper realizations, a happier state of being, and a smoother running facility.

Interstaff Relationship Development Communication and relationships among staff have a powerful impact on the functioning of a classroom, a grade, and a school. Learning to ease tensions, enhance communications, and increase a sense of comradery and teamwork, will all provide a better climate for learning. Some of these goals can be achieved through a dynamic, informative, interactive workshop, while an on-going dialogue can achieve long-lasting deeper insights and far reaching improvement.

Parenting presentations on various topics are an effective tool in involving parents in their children's school career as well as developing more interest in the school itself and can help enhance the parents’ understanding and desire of building an effective parent/school dynamic.
