Re-engaging our youth

This program is not a counselling or equine therapy. It is specifically designed to teach communication skills and body languuge awareness using personality profiling. Each skill we teach ha a psychological base which introduces students to techniques for focusing, lowering anger and anxiety and an awareness of human to human communication which they can use for the rest of their lives. Understanding the differences in each personality and learning to read body language gives them life skills to notice when others are becoming reactive. Learning the skill of diffusing is one of the many skills taught throughout the program.

We are assisting youth workers, social workers, youth justice case workers and family services providing assistance with some tools of awareness. These are skills they can take on and continue to use within their future counselling sessions with youth clients. Working in partnership with youth support agencies means all students attend with their case workers, every session. There has been an increased number of youth becoming disenchanted or disenfranchised. More youth suffering from depression or mental illness that can lead to substance abuse or suicide. Now is the time to provide the help they need before we loose them forever.
