Training Description
Some of the most challenging parts of our work with youth in the system is learning how to introduce and frame the toughest of life’s topics into safe and supportive conversations. In this workshop, participants will be given the opportunity to identify their own emotional balance needs when engaging these conversations and practice sample scripts to improve their skills around them. In both dyad and small groups, participants will also brainstorm script designs to meet the needs of their particular population of youth who live in out of home care.
Learning Objectives
During this session, participants will:
