SUMMARY:Helping Youth Cope: Staying in Conversation Post Election (Session #2)
DESCRIPTION:MMP understands the need for folks to come together to continue (or start) discussions on helping youth cope by staying in conversation. This is the second session of Helping Youth Cope. Everyone is welcome (whether you attended part 1 or not). \nWe know that young people benefit from being in relationships with caring adults in their lives. These relationships – sometimes in the form of formal mentoring – help youth manage stress\, build resiliency\, maintain positive mental health and ultimately set them up for success. We also know that young people care about a wide range of issues impacting their lives like climate catastrophe\, racism\, social media and gun violence in the US. It only follows that they feel a blend of optimism and uncertainty about their future. Adults who care about youth do as well. \nWith the weight of this upcoming Presidential election\, the stakes have never been higher. That is why MMP is stoked to offer a webinar on “HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE COPE: BEING IN CONVERSATION”. We invite you to share space with us\, ground yourself and hone up on how best to engage with the youth in your work\, your community\, your family\, your life during this time of political variability. \n  \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Helping Young People Cope: Staying in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Young people benefit from being listened to by caring adults in their lives. We know this. We also know that ‘staying in relationship’ with youth helps them manage stress\, build resiliency\, maintain positive mental health and ultimately set them up for success. On the whole\, young people feel a blend of optimism and uncertainty about the future. And they care about a wide range of issues\, including climate catastrophe\, the impact of social media on their lives and gun violence in the US to name a few. Adults who care about youth do too. Add to that\, the weight of this upcoming Presidential election. The stakes have never been higher. We invite you to hone up on how best to engage with the youth in your work\, your community\, your family\, your life. \n  \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Introduction to the Mentoring Mindset
DESCRIPTION:This training is intended to provide youth program staff with the capacity building needed to understand the critical components of the “Mentoring Mindset.” Each participant will leave with knowledge of the four core components and how they influence our work as mentors and mentees in our organization and communities. We will also unpack how this mentoring mindset can be shared with our volunteers and partners to provide shared understanding of our work. The goal for the “Mentoring Mindset” framework and training is to shift the way that relationships are created\, sustained\, and leveraged to deepen the shared responsibility of realizing each person’s full potential and their capacity to influence their communities. \n  \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Day 2: Importance of Healing for Our Well-being: Healing Practices
DESCRIPTION:Healing Practices: \nOver 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. \nAttend all 4 and receive a certificate of completion* \nImportance of Healing for Our Well-being: For Us & the Youth We Serve\nTrauma and healing series in Brockton.\n1.
