Foundations & Self-Awareness of Social Development

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.

Workshop Description:

As adults, our ability to support young people in identifying and managing their emotions starts with our ability to do the same. The SEL competence and well-being of youth workers is necessary for creating programs where young people see social skills modeled and discussed.

This introspective workshop is designed to support youth workers with their own ongoing social development. Participants will explore their personal identity, strengths, and values in social and professional settings, and how that influences their approach to communication, teamwork, responsibility, and leadership. Participants will identify ways to grow their social competencies and how that can impact their work with young people.
