Description:
This 6-hour training is designed for people working with transition-aged youth and young adults seeking to enhance their ability to promote recovery during the transition to adulthood through a developmentally appropriate and generationally relevant perspective. For young people who experience mental health or addiction challenges, the transition into adulthood can seem unattainable. The fear of not achieving adulthood is echoed in the reported outcomes associated with engagement in behavioral health services for many young people seeking support. This interactive training offers a dynamic curriculum to encourage attendees to explore approaches for promoting self-exploration and personal growth. Participants will have the opportunity to participate in a series of mindfulness-based practices that can easily integrate into a person’s everyday life for greater awareness, connection, and purpose.
Learning Objectives:
1) Define the developmental task of emerging adulthood
2) Identify the 5 stages of recovery
3) Learn and practice cognitive skill-building techniques
4) Describe the role of self-exploration in supporting recovery during the transition to adulthood
