This [Trauma-Informed FBA/BSP] is THE training that you will want to attend this school year! If you want to become a better professional, effectively teach the students who are considered the most challenging, and enjoy your work, enroll in this course. Although the information and suggested practices are based on brain science that can be found in other places, there is no substitute for the way Doris and Rick demonstrate the manner in which to approach students. The guided practice they provide allows one to use these skills the very next day. I continue to hear Doris and Rick in my head, allowing me to use their wording for responding to students that is natural and genuine. Doris and Rick have extensive experience with the students who are typically described as “difficult, challenging, hard, unteachable.” Their experience helps them to teach others in a powerful way, and their humor and kindness keeps the learning fun.

Collaborative Problem Solving®(MGH): A 3-Day Intensive on this Innovative, Trauma-Informed, Skill-Based Approach for Teaching, Treating, Parenting/Caregiving Youth (& Adults) with Challenging Behavior

Rick & Doris Bowman (Bowman Consulting) have literally transformed the way we work with children. Rather than relying on consequences and punishments, we are consciously building lagging skills and neural pathways in every interaction we have with students and parents. With the support of the Bowmans, we’ve implemented multiple trauma-informed practices and are genuinely making a difference and seeing progress with our students with the greatest challenges. As someone with multiple levels of CPS training, I highly recommend any training or resources the Bowmans have to offer. You will not be disappointed!

I know I have thanked you both so many times, but for real…thank you for everything! Every single time I listen to you and have the opportunity to learn from you, the fire inside of me reignites. I have found such a passion and desire to find each of these kids, whether on my caseload or not, and help them in our school… This is all because of the work you’ve done with us and the collaboration we have had together. I hope you understand how much the two of you have changed my perspective of teaching and my approach to each child individually. Working with you has been such a joy and a true privilege. Seriously, THANK YOU!

The Bowmans have partnered with our school to bring transformation to the approach we use to help the children with the most serious behavior challenges in the county. They have provided countless hours of time to assist us in developing new ways to reach our students that are based in empathy and compassion. We used to be reactive to the behaviors that occurred and now we are working to get upstream and solve the problems that are getting in the way of the student being able to meet the necessary expectations in order to be successful in school and in their life. Not only are their trainings informative, practical and inspiring, but their hearts and the experience they bring are their greatest asset. We will be forever grateful for the impact they have had on our staff and students!
