Youth and Substance Use: Engaging and Supporting Through Reflective Practice

How can we apply reflective practice to our work with youth who are challenged by substance use? How can a person-centred, strengths-based, and harm reduction approach support purposeful interventions that lead to healing and recovery?

Presented by the ReDesign Group, this reflective practice webinar will provide a framework for participants to generate and foster advancements in emerging best practices. The value of research into risk and protective factors for youth substance use and the need for improved evaluation practices for substance use programs will also be highlighted.

Areas of focus will include:

• Assessing our strengths and capacities.
• Acknowledging our challenges and weaknesses.
• Taking corrective action to increase our knowledge, skills, and abilities.
• Using reflection to critically examine why things are the way they are, and accept that they may not promise change.

This webinar is hosted by YouthREX.
