SUMMARY:Mentor Circle: Goal Setting and Support\, Effective Conversations-Behavior Change
DESCRIPTION:Goal Setting and Support\, Effective Conversations around Behavior Change: Chapters of Becoming a Better Mentor \nAs young people navigate increasingly complex worlds\, setting and pursuing goals can help them in several ways. Not only is making progress toward their goals linked to positive mental health\, but just the process of setting and monitoring that progress also promotes positive outcomes in young people such as motivation\, empowerment\, and improved communication between youth and the adults in their lives. \nJoin us to learn goal setting strategies\, and how to have effective conversations about shifting gears and trying something differently. We will explore how to avoid potentially harmful behaviors when having conversations about behavior change\, and how to encourage young people who experience ambivalence through the lens of Motivational Interviewing or “MI.” \nJoin us for a brand new offering from Mass Mentoring Partnership: Mentor Circles will run every third Thursday evening of most months (dates will be adjusted if holidays interfere.) Mentor Circles are virtual\, off-hours opportunities to connect with other mentors\, build knowledge\, and practice skills related to being the best mentor you can be. Topics will vary. You are welcome as often as you can join us. \n  \nREGISTER
