Presented by Peter Slattery, Therapist, Educator, Trainer, NSW
About this event
Working with young people means catching their attention, firing their imaginations, doing ‘something’ so they will connect with what is happening and how it is happening.
This workshop will explore practical and interactive ways of engaging and working with young people, either individually or in groups. The strategies include the use of talking and non-talking; with image or physical movement; with imagination and using what is to hand; with time constraints; and in circumstances that are not ideal.
This training will provide a platform to support workers responding to young people with AOD problems.
Target audience
For health professionals working with young people
