Self Care for Caregivers and Educators
Learn how to take care of your whole self through integration of body, mind, and spirit. Integration is an act of self-care, which ultimately enables us to take better care of others. Based on latest research about emotional intelligence, dynamic mindfulness, and social and emotional learning (SEL), an interactive workshop introduces evidence-based strategies to build our personal toolkits for self-care. Follow-up coaching focuses on building consistent practices for adults and extensions for children.

Evidence-Based SEL Approaches to Conflict Resolution
Effective SEL approaches are sequenced, active, focused, and explicit (SAFE) and holistically support child and youth development. Acknowledging that comprehensive SEL approaches are best, this session will provide a deep dive into several evidence-based SEL approaches to examine their tools for conflict resolution. Participants will explore conflict resolution examples from Responsive Classroom, Playworks, and RULER. Participants will leave the workshop with a better understanding of how to use these tools and how they fit into the broader scope of SEL.

Professionalism for Youth Workers
If your organization is like most youth-serving non-profits, you likely have a number of employees who have never held a formal job prior to you hiring them. Given that so many jobs in our field are part-time and/or entry level, it is common for staff to lack basic skills like workplace communication, troubleshooting with grace, and navigating difficult conversations. This learning module addresses these issues and others, supporting your staff to develop professional skills and competencies that will make them better able to serve youth, families, and other stakeholders.

Measuring Outcomes and Assessments
The inclusion of meaningful outcomes and assessments is essential to quality program design. But, leaders in the youth development field must go beyond the identification of outcomes and assessments to ensure consistent implementation of these tools and frameworks into program design. As part of this module, managers will work to understand the difference between outputs and outcomes, determine the goals of their program and the connection of goals to specific activities, and review relevant methods of program assessment.
