Calm Power Strategies for System-Involved Youth with Personal Energy Management Challenges

Robert Dousa

Training Description

One of the most significant challenges for those supporting system involved youth (SIY) is to effectively coach them to manage their own personal energy towards re-parenting themselves in a way that can deepen their inner security while navigating conflict with those they live, work, play with as well as with those that have power over them.  In this training, we will explore the coaching of self-regulation and self-advocacy techniques that aim to foster increased inner well-being and win/win relational outcomes for SIY. The aim of this workshop is to foster young people’s transformational behaviors that are sustainable and lead to healthy community engagement and improved outcomes, as well as strengthen their resilience and ability to heal from traumatic events. 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.
