As a youth worker, this training gives you the tools to create a welcoming environment where you can have meaningful conversations with young people. Learn how to understand their needs and support them better. You'll work on strategies to improve mental health awareness in your organization, focusing on early help, clear communication, and knowing when to seek extra help.
This training course also looks after you, teaching resilience, how to set healthy limits, and self-care, all through interactive and enjoyable activities. You'll return to your role with fresh ideas and ready-to-use approaches.
