People Need to Be Talking About This More: Addressing Complex Topics with Youth (presented by PATCH)

 

DESCRIPTION:

Join the Great Lakes MHTTC and PATCH (Providers and Teens Connecting for Health) to learn more about diving deep on some really hard topics with youth. Youth want to learn, but how can we best talk about things like sex trafficking? Intimate partner violence? Alcohol and drug addition? Hear from adult facilitators and teen participants of My Life My Choice about their successes and challenges with hard conversations.

Wisconsin PATCH (Providers and Teens Connecting for Health) is a collaboration of youth and adults that believe programs and policies for youth should include youth. They encourage young people to raise their voices to create positive change, and have programs and resources to EDUCATE, ENGAGE, and EMPOWER others to do the same.

 

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Recognize topics that may be missing from your conversations with youth.
  • Identify successful ways to raise and discuss complex topics with youth.
  • Explore ways to keep youth engaged in prevention work.

Registrants who fully attend this event or training will receive a certificate of attendance via email within two weeks after the event or training.
