Building Self-Esteem & Increasing Follow-Through in Youth Workshop
One of the central goals for all helping professionals working with youth is to increase the self-esteem of our clients. As well, we want to support our clients to grow and change. But how do we ensure that our clients experience these two goals as neither creating dependence nor a sense of abandonment?
This workshop explores a practical approach and tools that can be applied to areas ranging from daily interactions and problem solving/planning to program development. We will also touch on related boundary-setting and burnout-proofing techniques for service providers.
TOPICS TO BE EXPLORED INCLUDE:
- Understanding the difference between care giving and care taking
- Exploring foundations of self-esteem and the role of the service provider
- Increasing clients’ self-esteem and capacity
- Supporting change without creating dependence
- Burnout Proofing and Self-Care
Very important information. I appreciate Keiron’s ability to have the participants feel heard — he’s a very compassionate speaker and very inspiring of the same qualities.
