In this engaging workshop, participants will learn tools that can be used for youth development outcomes and for self-care within a field that can be emotionally taxing. Utilizing digital media-based dialogue, therapeutic writing, drawing as a means of self-exploration, and drama techniques drawn from improv comedy and theater of the oppressed, we will learn to leverage activities for the benefit of youth clients and ourselves. Join us as we enjoy time together inside and outside the training center, gain valuable skills to “heal the healer” within, and further our ability to empower youth we serve through creative expression.
