  • Schools at Risk: Managing Bullying, Gangs and Violent Females

    Schools at Risk: Managing Bullying, Gangs and Violent Females

    $29.99

    Maintaining a safe school environment means managing bullying, gangs, violent males and increasing female violence. Problems associated with bullying, gangs, and violence are well documented in their adverse affects on a positive learning environment. Nevertheless, many successful programs have been implemented nationwide to address these issues. Participants will be presented with overview of how these behaviors impact the social environment of the school, attendance and academic performance of students. State of the art, research-based prevention and intervention approaches will be presented in a “nuts and bolts” format. Attendees will be able to follow and implement five planning steps to improve school climate, attendance and academic achievement. Many of these interventions are valid for those working with youth in a non-school environment as well. School site teams will be able to personalize the information directly to their school site.

  • Suicide Risk Assessment in Youth and Young Adults

    Suicide Risk Assessment in Youth and Young Adults

    $29.99

    Program description from brochure:

    It was well known that many examples of youth-perpetrated catastrophic violence were carried out by highly disturbed young men who were fundamentally suicidal. In many such cases, the suicidal risk of youth perpetrators is well known to parents, teachers, administrators, law enforcement personnel, and mental health professionals, yet tragic outcomes still occur. This presentation will offer practical information on the assessment of suicide risk, the interplay between suicidal and homicidal behaviors and a full range of intervention strategies suitable to a variety of settings. Using a lively case example approach, this presentation will provide critical information about how suicidal youth think, feel, and behave. Contemporary issues such as the influence of media, the role of internet, and peer influences will also be considered. Bottom-line, this training will enable participants to better recognize who is at risk for suicide and what can realistically be done to intervene and save lives.

  • Testifying in Court

    Testifying in Court

    $129.99

    Original Program Description:

    Testifying in court is a time of anxiety for the first time witnesses and aggressive cross-examinations are particularly stressful, even for the experienced witness. This workshop begins by presenting ways of understanding the common problems faced on the witness stand. No techniques can take the place of good knowledge and careful preparation, and the foundations of such knowledge and preparation are described. The masterful expert witness knows what to expect in direct examinations and in cross-examinations. Drawing on the professional literature, on scientific findings, and on his own experience in court, Dr. Brodsky will present pathways towards reducing anxiety on the witness stand and specific methods for dealing with the most aggressive cross-examinations. This workshop will be didactic in part, but will use a highly interactive format. Participants will have the opportunity to try out the techniques presented for deflecting and mastering cross-examination challenges to their experience, to their thoroughness, to their competency, and to their impartiality. The workshop will include examples of worst scenario examinations and will draw on examples from Dr. Brodsky’s recent testimony.

    Preparation for testimony, Meeting with counsel
    The direct examination, Coping with examination in depositions

    Examples of challenging and difficult questions and answers
