David Pitonyak - David’s  work involves meeting individuals who are said to exhibit "difficult behaviors."  Most of these individuals exhibit difficult behaviors because they are misunderstood and/or because they are living lives that don't make sense.  Often they are lonely, or powerless, or without joy.  This site has useful tools and strategies for supporting people who have complex needs.
