Me and my co-author talk about our book with Dr. Scott Lee on the latest episode of The Thoughtful Teacher Podcast.

Find it wherever you get podcasts.

We talk about inclusion, relationship-based therapeutic work, counseling in schools, safety, and more.

Our book The Therapeutic Inclusion Program describes public school inclusion for students with significant social, emotional, and behavioral, challenges. Dr. Scott Lee is very experienced and knowledgeable in this realm, so it’s a quality conversation as we connect from Massachusetts to Tennessee.

My co-author Laura Balogh and I went to AGPAConnect 2023 to do a presentation about group psychotherapy with students, and the therapeutic inclusion program. It turns out that the group of people who show up at 7am(!) to engage about group counseling in schools is an especially great group.

We also got to take in a number of presentations – some notable ones included a demonstration of using role-playing table top games in group counseling, a group adaptation of Yale’s SPACE Treatment to treat children with anxiety disorders through their parents, and a thought-provoking demonstration group led by group psychotherapist Richard Billow.

The Therapeutic Inclusion Program book is now available all over. We wrote this book to expand inclusion for students with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. We hope you will check it out, talk to your colleagues and friends about it, and talk to us about it.
