Healing Practices:
Over the past 50 years, the field of psychology and medicine has learned a lot about the causes and effects of trauma on the human mind, body and spirit. Trauma Informed Care was developed as an approach, which takes trauma into account when diagnosing and treating individuals. But what if we also respect the parts of a person that are vibrant, strong and undamaged? What if we acknowledge the role that healing plays in our lives and the lives of young people? A Healing Centered Approach, expands the vision of trauma informed care to include a more holistic understanding of ourselves, especially as it relates to caring for youth. This workshop will provide knowledge and strategies to being in relationship with young people in a way that honors them as whole people and promotes well-being.

Mental Health & Dis-Ease
Adolescence is a crucial period for developing and maintaining the habits important for mental health, but some adolescents are at greater risk of mental health conditions due to material disadvantages, stigma, discrimination or exclusion, and/or lack of access to quality support and services. This is why mentoring is so critical. A supportive adult presence – that allows for a shared connection and vulnerability – contributes to positive growth and adaptation. Come and learn how to promote resiliency among young people in this virtual training, targeted to both staff and mentors.

2024-12-12 10:00 - 11:00 | Virtual
Cultivating Well Being
Cultivating well being is critical for young people to thrive as adults. What does it mean for youth to be well? What does it mean for them to succeed? What does it take for adults to improve well being for young people? This workshop is designed to help adult caregivers identify and generate skills that enhance youth well being. Raising adolescents to improve the world, builds stronger communities where people care for and about each other. Young people, in turn, develop a more positive sense of well-being and their opportunities to make impactful change – on SO many levels – become endless.
