Training Description: 

This workshop was designed in response to the growing number of adolescent females entering our programs. Largely due to media pressures and certain socialization processes, girls are often faced with unique challenges during their adolescent years. To ensure that our services acknowledge and address these challenges, this workshop will look at how we currently serve teenage girls and how we might further enhance our programs. The workshop will use a positive youth development approach, covering normal adolescent development as well as behavior management and resources for the youth worker.
