Children's services include: The Incredible Years The Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant can provide services to the school such as classroom consultation, large and small group skills building activities, and teacher training. The consultant can also provide in-home services for parent enrichment, one-on-one consultations, and behavior specific support. In the Parent Enrichment Group, parents will work to increase their positive communication skills, limit setting abilities, problem solving, and anger management skills. In the Dinosaur School the children learn how to communicate effectively, how to handle conflict through problem solving, and how to behave appropriately at school and at home. Dinosaur School will also promote the child's positive self-esteem and general social competence. This program will meet once per week for 10 weeks. We will problem solve, work together, role play and help each other learn positive parenting techniques. These skills combined with what the children are learning in Dinosaur School will set the stage for positive social and emotional growth in your children. Dinner, instruction, understanding and babysitting will be provided at these weekly meetings.

Our groups are lead by a male and female co-facilitator team. Techniques used in our groups include: Discussion * Role Play * Group Exercises * Handouts * Videos * Communication with referring agencies * Communication with the victim The Program Provides

"Learned a lot about different kinds of abuse and anger, and how to control it. There's probably a lot about anger I still need to learn. People are very friendly and the counselors are great in every way. They lead me in the right direction and guided me through some tough moments. The counselor's were involved in everyone's beliefs. Everyone's input was rewarding."
