Using Neuroscience to Connect with Children and Youth

Designed specifically for those who work with children and youth, The PersonBrain™ Model provides a high quality, multi-theoretical training approach that combines neuroscience with positive and practical mental health interventions. Drawing on social, emotional, ecological and neuro-relational sciences, this innovative model incorporates promising approaches that will transform how adults work with children and youth forever!

Joe L. Martindale and Guy K. Palmes.

Restoring Respect: RAP Training

October 13-15, 2009

Holiday Inn Express - Downtown Nashville, Tennessee

"To meet life's challenges, all children need adults and peers who respond to their needs rather than react to problem behavior." --Dr. Larry Brendtro, co-author RAP training

RAP offers “essential training” for dealing with challenging children and youth.

Response Ability Pathways – or simply RAP – provides essential strength-based strategies for all who deal with young persons in family, school, or community. Children and youth need supportive persons who respond to their needs rather than react to their problems. RAP provides these response-abilities which enable one to guide young persons on pathways to responsibility.

 Reclaiming Youth International and the Circle of Courage Institute (A Starr Institute for Training Program) are pleased to present not one but two opportunities during the Fall of 2011 for training in Response Ability Pathways™ (RAP), Developmental Audit™ and Deep Brain Learning®.  Join us for the Michigan Seminars on September 19-23 on the campus of Starr Commonwealth in Albion, Michigan, or the New England Seminars on October 3-4, 2011 at the Walker School in Needham, Massachusetts.
