The Power of Activating Conversation and Facilitation when Working with Youth
Workshop Description
Is it possible to increase the capacity of needful conversation in youth work? With all of the noise and chaos in the journey of a youth, many young individuals ask the following question, ‘Will anyone listen to me?’ Too many of us in prevention are on the treadmill of program implementation just to meet a grant quantitative goal.
