Description

In this talk, Dr. Ariadna Albajara Sáenz presents on mental health challenges in children and young people, which are highly prevalent and increasing in recent years. These difficulties often persist into adulthood and are linked to poorer educational, occupational, financial, and social outcomes, highlighting the need for preventive strategies and early interventions. She introduces The Incredible Years programmes, a series of evidence-based interventions designed to address multiple risk factors across home and school settings that contribute to the development of behavioral issues in children. While the parent programme was developed first, the Teacher Classroom Management (TCM) programme equips teachers with strategies to manage disruptive behavior and promote academic, social, and emotional learning. Dr. Albajara Sáenz explores the principles, strategies, and research behind the TCM programme, offering attendees insight into its core principles, key classroom management strategies, and recent findings on its effectiveness, implementation, and sustainability.
