To support students and build vital social emotional skills, a portion of our staff, as well as members of our administration received training from Massachusetts General Hospital’s Think:Kids®. Think:Kids® works with schools and families to address the social emotional needs of students so they can be successful socially and academically. The Collaborative Problem Solving Model® presented by Think:Kids® is based on the premise “kids do well if they can”. Through the Collaborative Problem Solving Model®, adults are taught how to empathize, share their concerns and positively collaborate with children to identify solutions.
