Introducing Rick Irving's blog

 Hi, I'm Rick Irving. I recently retired from a long career as a school social worker in Andover, MA and as a private practitioner therapist so that I could focus on consultations and speaking engagements, and so that I could continue writing a book for parents describing my approach to working with children and adolescents. 

In this blog you'll find a variety of articles ranging from tips and hints on how to deal with particular situations, as well as more mundane announcements of upcoming lectures and meetings.
