About this Event

Description:

Avoiding Adversarial Relationships with Youth and Emerging Adults is designed to support The Fourth Turning, defined by Strauss-Howe Generational Theory. This theory calls this paradigm-shift The Millennial Transition. In this training, attendees will learn about the micro, mezzo, and macro-origin and impact of this global transition that is changing the way humans interact with each other in families and communities, as they reshape institutions that have governed human life in our time. The training also supports attendees’ ability to balance their independent and interdependent agencies while effectively integrating their private and personal experiences being impacted by The Fourth Turning, while remaining accountable for their role-related behaviors as a professional.

Objectives:

As a result of this workshop, participants will be prepared to:

1. Discover the strengths and challenges present within the narratives, identities, and motivators to action of today’s youth and emerging adults.

2. Examine the similarities and differences between the narratives, identities, and sociocultural norms within the Chronology of American Generations.

3. Apply best practices in developing effective professional and personal relationships with youth and emerging adults.
