Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) presents a complex and challenging set of behaviors that can significantly disrupt the lives of children and adolescents, as well as their families, teachers, and peers. Characterized by frequent defiance, irritability, argumentative behavior, temper tantrums, and a refusal to comply with authority, ODD often leads to significant difficulties in school, at home, and in social relationships. These behaviors can become more intense over time, creating a cycle that is difficult to break without the right interventions.

This two-day workshop is designed to provide a comprehensive, in-depth understanding of ODD, with a focus on its causes, manifestations, and evidence-based interventions. Whether you are a clinician, educator, counselor, or parent, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to manage and transform challenging behaviors in children and adolescents. Attendees will explore the complex psychological, environmental, and cultural factors that contribute to ODD and how these factors interact to create persistent defiance and resistance.

Through a mix of theoretical frameworks, real-life case studies, group discussions, and hands-on activities, participants will deepen their understanding of how ODD manifests in various environments and how to intervene effectively to promote positive behavioral change. By Day 2, participants will not only understand the underlying causes of ODD but also walk away with practical tools and therapeutic strategies that can be immediately applied in home, school, and community settings. This workshop will quip you with frameworks to manage ODD effectively and help children and youth develop the skills they need to thrive emotionally and socially.
