Finding Balance: A Family's Journey to Treatment for Bipolar Disorder (The ORP Library) (Volume 13)

Jeffrey Krukar, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist with more than 20 years of experience working with children and families in a variety of settings, including community-based group homes, vocational rehabilitation services, residential treatment, juvenile corrections, public schools, and private practice. He earned his Ph.D. in educational psychology, with a school psychology specialization and psychology minor, from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Dr. Krukar is a Think:Kids Certified Trainer in Collaborative Problem Solving, and an assistant professor at the Wisconsin School of Professional Psychology. He is a registrant of the National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology, and is also a member of the American Psychological Association. As the psychologist at Genesee Lake School in Oconomowoc, WI, Dr. Krukar believes it truly takes a village to raise a child—to strengthen developmental foundations in relating, communicating, and thinking—so they can successfully return to their families and communities. Dr. Krukar hopes the ORP Library of disabilities books will bring to light the stories of children and families to a world that is generally not aware of their challenges and successes, as well as offer a sense of hope to those currently on this journey.
