Creating Resilient Youth: The Power of Webs of Support
February 7-8, 2020
Relationships matter! For youth to succeed in school and life, they need a network of caring, connected adults to guide and help them thrive amid life’s challenges.
Based on extensive social-emotional and trauma-responsive research, this workshop will equip you with innovative tools to amplify each youth’s strengths and help them self-activate their complex system of support. You’ll learn how to help youth build protective factors to mitigate trauma and decrease risk behaviors, such as bullying, drugs, alcohol, suicidal ideation, and more.
Using a strengths-based approach, this workshop will enable you to recognize, appreciate, and magnify what is right about youth, assuring their chance to flourish.
During this interactive workshop, you will …
Day 1:
✓Learn about a framework that builds Webs of Support to help students thrive socially, emotionally, and academically;
✓Learn trauma-responsive practices that will encourage positive outcomes and decrease negative behaviors;
✓Receive tools and practice tangible strategies for connecting with all students, including those with trauma and other challenges, to enable them to positively engage.
