SUMMARY:Engaging Disengaged Young People eWorkshop 8-March-2023
DESCRIPTION:Working with ‘disengaged’ young people means doing something unexpected\, nothing ‘clever’ but something less likely so we can elicit a response of curiosity; a response of ‘okay let’s see…’ Each of these ten activities aims to\, openly and intriguingly\, do exactly this. \nYoung people are super-physical\, super-influenced by their emotions\, and respond super-impulsively to what’s going on around them. This workshop will take you through a process that looks at how to harness all this\, particularly when a young person seems grumpy\, bored or even hostile\, disinterested and/or disengaged. \nThere’s no doubt that at times young people can be challenging\, especially young people who are having a hard time of life. But it’s always rewarding\, worthwhile\, often a lot of fun\, and at times uplifting and moving. \nParticipants in this 3-hour workshop will: \na) Experience the strategies first hand \nb) Explore how we can adjust/morph these activities so they fit with your style and the young people you are working with \nc) Be clear about the thinking\, the principles upon which these activities are based \nd) Be clear about how each of these activities can be used in different situations and with different issues/concerns \nWhen: Wednesday 8th March 2023 from 9.30am to 12.30pm. \nWhere: Online\, delivered via zoom. You will receive a zoom link prior to the workshop where you will be able to access the eWorkshop \nCost: The early bird booking fee is $195.00 (GST included) before the 22nd March after the 22nd March the full price is $250.00. \nTo register: Register and complete payment . A Tax Invoice will be emailed to you. The payment needs to be completed before the workshop occurs\, for the registration to be fully confirmed. \nFacilitator: Peter Slattery \nMany years ago\, Peter did a B.A. in Social Science and an M.A. in Psychology. He says he thoroughly enjoyed his time at university and freely admits to having learned something. He also says that the past 30 plus years of working with young people\, especially with those having a hard time of life\, have taught him a lot more\, and given him some ideas about how to make use of what he learned at university. Today\, Peter works freelance across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand\, with occasional jaunts into Asia\, North America\, the U.K. and Europe. He continues working with young people in all the places you expect to find them; within all the school systems\, as well as within refuges\, rehab centres\, the many forms that youth programs take and in juvenile justice settings. Having done this work for a long time now\, Peter finds himself in demand as a trainer of workers\, as a supervisor and mentor\, and seems to be constantly invited to speak at conferences both within Australia and overseas. He has published extensively in both the E and the hard-copy worlds. He says he considers himself extremely lucky\, and thinks of his work as an uplifting challenge\, a privilege\, a joy and often\, just a lot of fun. \n
