Supporting Adolescent Well-being Through a Strengths Lens
For those of us who work with adolescents — the last three years have been challenging. Supporting them through COVID, navigating anti Semitism, the toll of October 7 and the ensuing war — along with all of the other joys and challenges that mark this developmental stage. How do we hold, and support the resiliency of our teens while we are struggling to do the same for ourselves?
Join us for a morning of learning with Dr. Betsy Stone to explore how we can look through, and leverage a lens of strength rather than deficit, and how to maximize those strengths for ourselves and our teens.
For Jewish youth professionals, educators who work with teens, and all adolescent stakeholders
This session is part of our year-long focus on supporting shleimut and resiliency for Jewish youth through the various experiential settings and programs where we engage teens in the community.
During this session, we will also spend time sharing with one another what this looks like for each of us in our programs, and strengthen our own network of support around the work we do.
