Engaging Youth in Supported Struggle

New!
This training is a new APOST offering, as it's part of the Social & Emotional Learning Youth Work Methods Workshops, a recently development series, from The Forum for Youth Investment | The Weikart Center for Youth Program Quality (https://forumfyi.org/weikartcenter/workshops/).

It is in struggle that we all grow. Helping support young people through that struggle helps promote that opportunity for growth and learning.

In this workshop, participants will practice fostering growth mindset to help young people persevere when they struggle and explore strategies that staff can use to support them.

Participants will identify nuances for how these strategies may apply to work with the young people they work with in balanced, equitable ways

Each participant will be provided with a guidebook to use during the training and keep and will also receive a certificate of completion via email afterwards.
