Brief Program Description
In this highly engaging and upbeat session, attendees will become active learners who are transformed into the youth they serve (both as perpetrators and victims), peer leaders, adult advocates, community members, parents, and more—all for the purpose of creating a virtual classroom/school/agency setting. Through the use of technology, role-playing, and team-building exercises, participants will receive tangible tools on how to create a climate of, “just-us,” where the youth served are able to positively release (verbally share their inner feelings), relax (learn tips for de-escalation and sharing), reflect (become critical thinkers), and restore (repair, rebuild, and strengthen damaged relationships).
