Lives in the Balance is the non-profit organization founded by child psychologist Dr. Ross Greene, originator of the empirically supported Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) approach and New York Times bestselling author of the influential books The Explosive Child, Lost at School, Lost & Found, and Raising Human Beings.  

The organization's mandate: foster collaboration and empathy, transforms lives, and inspire change for all children (especially the most vulnerable),heighten awareness of the detrimental and counterproductive effects of punitive interventions, and address the systemic issues that impede progress. 

The mission of Lives in the Balance is to provide vital, accessible resources and programs to caregivers of behaviourally challenging kids; to bring the plight of these kids into the public consciousness; to address the systemic issues that cause many of these kids to slip through the cracks; and to promote parenting and disciplinary practices that foster the better side of human nature in all children.
