Skill not will
When someone is behaving in a challenging way, it’s not because they aren’t trying hard enough to behave better. It’s because they are struggling with the skills to do so — skills like — flexibility, frustration tolerance, and problem solving. Skills that underlie virtually every type of mental health issue. That’s good news because skills can be practiced and built at home, school and the workplace.
Collaborative Problem Solving
Dr. Ablon teaches this simple, but powerful, philosophy of skill not will and a proven approach to building the skills that determine our behavior and safeguard our mental health, called Collaborative Problem Solving. Collaborative Problem Solving provides an empirically validated tool for assessing people’s skills, a simple system for deciding how to respond to challenging behavior, and a clear roadmap for solving problems while building skills and relationships.
Collaborative Problem Solving is an evidence-based practice, with data supporting its effectiveness across all kinds of tough settings. So, yes, it can definitely work in your home, school, office or organization too.
