Training Description

One of the most significant challenges for those supporting system-involved youth (SIY) with limiting self-beliefs and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) is to effectively support them in making the most out of their relationships with other therapists, coaches, mentors, and supervisors. In this training, we will explore coaching techniques for self-advocacy and how these can enhance our capacity to effectively support system-involved youth with limiting self-beliefs and CPTSD towards positive outcomes.
