Love of learning

Health includes a healthy mind.  I am fortunate enough to have been allowed to attend the National Counsel of Behavioral Health 2014.  This year it is in National Harbor, MD just outside of Washington, DC.  I like when you've had an ah-ha moment.  I have been in the field of mental health for over 20 years and have not considered that perhaps an "oppositional defiant" youth is so simply because they are in a perpetual state of dysregulation.  We have to assist in the basic needs first and through meeting basic needs we can assist in regulating the entire family system.
