The Circle of Courage® has piloted an innovative RAP curriculum which offers “basic training” for all who deal with challenging children and youth. Response Ability Pathways™– or simply RAP – provides essential strength-based strategies for all who deal with young persons in family, school, or community.

Developmental Audit®: Strategies for Strength-Based Assessment

Developmental Audit® was cited as ‘a comprehensive tool for identifying a youth’s problems, significant life events, supports and strengths, private logic and coping strategies, and goals for growth in the areas of belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity’ in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry by Drs. Joe L. Martindale and Guy K. Palmes.

Development Audit has successful met the Daubert Challenge(12/21/10, South Dakota).

What is Life Space Crisis Intervention?

LSCI is a therapeutic strategy for using crisis situations as opportunities to help students learn alternatives to patterns of aggressive, disrespectful, or self-demeaning behavior.

LSCI is being successfully used by teachers, counselors, alternative and special educators, mental health and juvenile justice staff, residential child care professionals, administrators, and others who deal directly with youth in conflict in family, school and community.

LSCI blends psycho-dynamic, cognitive, behavioral and pro-social methods to develop powerful teaching and treatment interventions for our most challenging youth.

 Parents, counselors, teachers, coaches, direct care workers, case managers, and others are all in a position to help a child heal.
(Greenwald, 2005)

Leadership of a unit or an organization presents many challenges to the individuals in those positions.  Whatever the goal or objective of the work, helping staff members understand and carry out the key elements of their assignments is the primary responsibility of the effective leader.  People rise to leadership positions for a variety of reasons that have to do with their strengths and ambitions as well as needs of the organization for which they work.
