BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Ricky Greenwald, Psy.D., an internationally respected practicing child psychologist, will present two workshops on "Treating Problem Behaviors: A Trauma-Informed Approach for Teens," in November sponsored by the Office of Continuing Education at the 麻豆传媒o School of Social Work.

Greenwald is founder and director of the Child Trauma Institute, a Massachusetts-based organization that provides training, consultation, information and resources for professionals who work with trauma-exposed children, adolescents and adults. He is the author of numerous professional articles as well as several books, including his new book "Treating Problem Behaviors" (in press).

A one-day workshop will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 5 in the Center for Tomorrow on the UB North (Amherst) Campus focusing on a trauma-informed approach for working with adolescents, as well as other age groups, struggling with loss of temper, conduct problems, aggression, crime, school failure and substance abuse.

The program will emphasize a Motivation-Adaptive Skills-Trauma Resolution (MASTR) protocol and is divided into four phases: motivation, adaptive skill development, trauma resolution work and relapse prevention.

A three-day intensive program on treating problem behaviors in teens, which is cosponsored by the Child Trauma Institute, will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 6-8 in Child and Family Services, 844 Delaware Ave., Buffalo.
