HBCC is a SoCal non-profit that helps adults identify essential skills needed for youth to enhance their mental well-being and meet expectations.
HBCC programs and trainings are evidence-based, skill focused, relational and aligned with CASEL's 5 core competencies.
It can feel like the ones who are seemingly capable that exhibit behavioral challenges are giving parents & teachers a hard time on purpose. This can lead to frayed relationships, defiance, school refusal, shame and blame.
At HBCC we help parents, teachers & providers gain insights into the limitations of motivational approaches as solutions to challenging behaviors.
HBCC trainings and coaching give actionable strategies through proven evidence-based steps so adults can effect real change from the chronic adult/child power struggles.
Join one of our upcoming trainings to help those with challenging behaviors become their most functional, fulfilled, and authentic selves with proven steps on how to:
The truth is "kids do well if they can" and "compliance is about skill not will"

How long are the Professional & Advanced trainings?
No. The ideal is that both parents take the class at some point. It may not always be possible to take the class together at the same time due to childcare, etc. Each parent can attend their own class series, depending on schedules. Discounts apply whenever taking the course for the same child.
Single parents taking the course are encouraged to attend and build a community of supporters. It is highly beneficial to hear the approach firsthand, so grandparents, caregivers, stepparents and significant others are all encouraged to take the course when it works with schedules.
HBCC holds 2-hour Overviews on Collaborative Problem Solving®(CPS) and an 18-hour Essential foundation training which includes guidance on the roadmap to implementation and certification opportunities through Think:Kids, who own and develop this evidence-based approach.
HBCC hosts on-going trainings, coaching and support for parents/caregivers, educators/professionals bringing adults to understand challenging behaviors through a lens that is trust-based, brings connection and durable solutions.
HBCC highly recommends that learning with guidance how to become a child's advocate and operate from the belief that challenging kids lack the skill, not the will, to meet expectations. The truth is most adults receive zero training on neurodiversity and are not aware of what has been learned post-1990's, the decade of the brain.
There is a myth that kids who present well yet have challenging behaviors are not living up to their potential which in turn compounds their problems by putting more demands up on them without a foundation for addressing their challenges.
At HBCC we strive to answer the question that asks, "what will help a chronically behaviorally challenging child be successful and maximize their potential?"
Options for virtual trainings are available and can be discussed.
Please inquire if you are interested in virtual options.

The Challenge: Adults come to HBCC and appreciate not only learning the Collaborative Problem Solving approach, but the opportunity to find their community and learn with others who have similar concerns regarding undesired behaviors and have not found an approach that is helpful. Adults find out they are not alone with the conventional behavior modification approach not working for their child/student.
Adults come to the HBCC community having tried plenty of rewards, plenty of being more consistent and plenty of following through with consequences and it is NOT working. As a matter of fact, it's like pouring gas on a fire (consequences), salt on a wound (rewards) and feelings of abandonment (ignoring).
HBCC teaches what works for most of the population (70%), does not work for their differently wired, neurodiverse child (which is 30% of the population).
HBCC champions rethinking undesired challenging behaviors and helps adults take a path to becoming change makers!
