Help Your Team Build Effective Helping Relationships

It’s the experience of the relationship that's the most influential element of helping others grow and thrive. Yet that’s the element so often neglected. Rigid and behavioral approaches fall short when what people really need is the experience of a supportive, restorative connection. These conversations will show you how. 

Through a series of recorded conversations with experienced interdisciplinary practitioners in Child and Youth Care, this course surveys the dynamics of a relational approach to empowering young people and students. 

In this course participants will deepen their understanding of the characteristics of a relational child and youth care approach and increase their capacity to support students and young people within the context of their daily lives, including:

• Methods to establish trust and emotional safety with young people
• Elements of reciprocity in the shared relational space with young people
• Strategies to nurture resilience in young people.  

Course components include eleven recorded instructional modules, course workbook, multiple-choice exam, course evaluation, and certificate of completion.
