Robert Dousa

Training Description

One of the most significant challenges for those supporting system-involved youth is to effectively engage them to break free of trauma and avoid using drugs and compulsive behavior to self-medicate. In this training, we will explore energy management and redirection of thought strategies, illicit drug facts, and harm reduction strategies to enhance our ability to support system-involved youth and/or their caregivers toward emotional development, wellbeing, resilience, and an increased ability to heal from traumatic events to lead a meaningful life. Practicing and sharing the methods outlined by this workshop will allow us to improve the practice of how we empower system-involved youth and/or their caregivers.

●       Identify at least 2 Inner Energy Management strategies that foster greater outcomes for system-involved youth.
