Training Description

One of the most significant challenges for those supporting system involved youth is to effectively engage them in building constructive, transformational behaviors that are sustainable and lead to healthy community engagement and improved outcomes when they are using cannabis for self-medication. In this training, we will explore how to enhance our capacity to support system involved youth by examining Strengths-Based Thriving Engagement Practices (especially designed for substance using TAY youth). These can help prepare us to foster alliance and promote emotional development, well-being, resilience, and the ability to heal from traumatic events so that system involved youth who are using cannabis can more easily lead a meaningful life. Additionally, we will explore how Thriving Engagement Planning can enhance our approach. Practicing and sharing the methods outlined by this workshop will allow us to improve the practice of how we empower system-involved youth and families.
