About the Event

About the Workshop…

There are a range of potential factors that may underpin challenging behaviors exhibited by youth. If we quickly jump to strategy implementation without considering the true source of the behaviors, viable solutions may be difficult to find. This session explores marginalization and inequitable treatment of youth, misdiagnosis, mental health symptom manifestations, and social emotional competency deficits as possible underlying correlates of youth behaviors. Additionally, interventions that more closely align with the source of the behaviors will be identified, including advocacy for equity and justice, collaborative approaches that foster comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis, targeted interventions for mental health symptom reduction, and direct instruction in social emotional skill-building will be offered.

Learning Objectives:· Describe the impact of discrimination and inequitable treatment of youth, particularly for children of color, LGBTQ+ youth, and children with disabilities.

· Recognize the potential range of responses children exhibit when experiencing systemic inequities and injustice.
