Through a series of recorded conversations with experienced interdisciplinary practitioners in the Child and Youth Care field, this course surveys the dynamics of a relational approach to empowering young people and students. Course components include eleven recorded instructional modules, course workbook, multiple-choice exam, course evaluation, and certificate of completion. 

Educational Goals: Through 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.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this course participants will be able to: (1) Identify three methods to establish trust and emotional safety with young people; (2) List three elements of reciprocity in the shared relational space with young people; and (3) Describe three strategies to nurture resilience in young people.  

Part 1: Meaningful Connections

Whether it's a first connection or reconnection, the way we show up in our relationships can pave the way for deeper connections. In this first part of the course, you'll learn ways to connect, build trust, and establish feelings of safety. 

Part 2: Mindful Encounters

For better or worse, each encounter we have with another person has an impact on their life. In this second part of the course, you'll learn how to be mindful of your own internal process and how attending to the relational space itself can shape it to be one that nurtures new growth and learning. 

Part 3: Motivational Impact

Every kid has the inner resources they need to live out their lives successfully. In this third part of the course, you'll explore how to create the conditions - in the context of your relationship - for them to access their strengths, desires, and future.
