Advanced Concepts in Collaborative Problem Solving

Advanced Concepts Header

The Advanced Concepts (Level 2) course deepens skills at all phases of the Collaborative Problem Solving® approach and enhances implementation in the real world. Participants advance their skills by learning strategies for using the approach in the most challenging situations using real-life examples from their experiences. Participants learn through lectures, role-play, video examples, case presentations, and breakout groups. Upon completion of this course, graduates are eligible to apply to the Certification Course to become experts in Collaborative Problem Solving.

Join us and learn to:

  • Confidently assess and plan interventions for all youth in your care.
  • Expand your use of the approach to include using it with groups, spontaneously, in complex situations, and when you are not directly involved.
  • Develop and deploy strategies when things get tough, including a lack of trust or language skills.
  • Support others using the approach and address common issues, including lack of “buy-in.”
  • Engage in productive dialogue to share the values of the approach of Collaborative Problem Solving focusing on skill not will.
  • Use Collaborative Problem Solving to address the negative impact of implicit bias and combat inequitable discipline practices.
