ThinkKids at Massachusetts General Hospital

ThinkKids at Massachusetts General Hospital is a non-profit organization located in Boston, Massachusetts, employing 39 people. The organization focuses on providing a revolutionary approach to supporting children with behavioral challenges. ThinkKids teaches Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS), an evidence-based method that emphasizes building helping relationships and teaching children the skills they need to manage their behavior. Their services include training, support, and clinical services. This approach differs from traditional discipline models by avoiding power, control, and motivational procedures. Instead of focusing on punishment, ThinkKids empowers children by developing their problem-solving, flexibility, and frustration tolerance skills. The organization believes that children struggling with behavior often lack the necessary skills, not the will, to behave well.
