Hope & Knowledge Training

This group is really more of a class. Actually, there are two different classes: one for parents and one for professionals. The goal of the class is to teach the Hope & Knowledge program for communication and problem solving. Some study is involved, but most of the work is hands-on learning. We begin by focusing on a few core ideas from psychology: stress, unconscious motivation and ego defenses, and cycles of social interaction. Knowledge of these three areas can greatly increase understanding of complex, troubling behavior. Greater knowledge helps to improve communication and solve problems more effectively.
