Monthly Consultation: Self-Care in Youth/Young Adult Peer Support
Date/Time: December 17, 2020, 10am PT / 1pm ET
In the December meeting, we will discuss the importance of self-care for staff and youth clients. The holidays are often a confusing and challenging time for youth involved in systems, and young people can benefit from having a self-care plan. We will cover conversational strategies to approach this topic with youth and how to normalize the process of creating a self-care plan. We will also include an open discussion of topics and scenarios submitted by participants. To allow for interaction and discussion, registration will be limited. Register early (below) to ensure your space!

A recording of the November meeting, "Strengths, Passions, Achievements, and Motivators (SPAM)" is also available.

New Interactive Module on Exploring Strengths with Young People
This module depicts a provider guiding a young adult through a conversation about strengths. Youth and young adults who are participating in mental health services are often asked about their strengths, and they report that this can be an awkward and uncomfortable conversation to have. However, when done correctly, a strengths conversation can be a positive and engaging experience, as well as a good opportunity for a provider to find out what a young person finds motivating, enjoyable and worthwhile. The module provides examples of successful ways to talk with young people about their strengths, as well as examples of some not-so-successful ways.

Using Remote Training and Coaching To Build Providers' Skills for Working Effectively with Older Youth and Young Adults
Research consistently documents that training providers to work with clients in new ways requires extensive – and usually very expensive – training and coaching over time. This research article reports on a form of high-quality training and coaching that is affordable and sustainable in community mental health settings. The main strategy for this is the use of a completely "remote" process for training and coaching. This process relies on a web-based platform through which trainees access a library of real examples of good – and not-so-good – practice, and through which they also receive individualized coaching and feedback based on video recordings of their own practice with clients.
