Description
The Preventive Ounce (Poz) is a nonprofit, preventive mental health organization, incorporated in California in 1984, with offices in Oakland, California and Madison, Wisconsin. Poz was started by two psychologists who were frustrated by long-standing behavioral problems in children. Most of these problems could have been prevented, had parents understood how to manage the issues that were normal for their child's temperament.
The truth is that many parents are mystified by their child's behavior: sleep problems, temper tantrums, separation difficulties, difficulties in toilet training, asssertiveness issues, unusual sensitivities, to name just a few. They feel guilty, exhausted, at wit's end. What worked for their first child doesn't work now.
Since 1984, The Preventive Ounce has worked with health maintenance organizations (HMOs), developing programs that helped more than 20,000 parents see more clearly their child's emerging temperament and manage the issues that are normal for their child's temperament. Most of this program was developed and tested at Kaiser Permanente, the oldest and largest HMO in the United States.
