Drawing on his evidence-based Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model\, he emphasizes:  \n\nProactive interventions rather than reactive interventions \nFocusing on solving the problems that are causing concerning behaviours  \nSolving problems collaboratively rather than unilaterally \n\nDr. Greene will provide a framework to create safer\, more inclusive\, and supportive learning environments. Participants will leave with actionable strategies and hope for fostering belonging and growth for all students.  \nContent Note: This session includes discussion of children’s mental health and school-related stress.
