Bi-Polar Disorder in Children
Total Behavior Management workshops are designed for all school personnel.
Participants walk away with hundreds of
practical, "best practice" strategies that are easily implemented and based on current research.
Participants in this training will develop an in-depth understanding of individuals with the disorder, and specifically gain insight on dealing with bi-polar disorder in children. Through a multi-media presentation and various empathy exercises participants will recognize signals of bi-polar disorder while developing workable strategies dealing with such students in a safe and respectable manner.
