As a counselor I know how much more the children grasp when they learn it through a story." "All of Julia’s books are fabulous to read in the classroom. They integrate well with the Second Step Curriculum and not only have great illustrations, but Lewis is a riot!" "I have been a school social worker for many years. I have spent lots of money but rarely have I found books and resources that are as relevant as yours. Reading the stories is pure fun and I know the kids are having a great time listening. More than that, the kids get them! When I ask what did you learn, what was the message, what will you use they can give me answers. Thanks so much for this resource."

WORKSHOPS (check back for additions)

In addition to our featured sessions, we have a variety of breakout sessions scheduled:

When Love Doesn't Conquer All

James Kling

This interactive training will provide effective, concrete techniques for all levels of professionals working with children and adolescents that exhibit moderate to severe behavior problems. The participants will have an understanding how parents with children/adolescents that have behavior problems are living in domestic violent homes (children abusing family). This upside down Domestic Violence situation provides little empathy and direction from communities since we are trained to see only the children (and battered wives) as victims. The material is appropriate for all levels.
