REPLAY & RESOURCES:

Note: Training certificates are only available following live trainings or completion of self-paced courses. A certificate will not be provided for review of these materials.

 

TRAINING DETAILS: 

Did you know that having social connection and support in your life makes you live 3.7 years longer than someone without support? Come to the Social Support workshop to learn what you can do to increase your lifespan and have a happier and healthier life. During this fun and interactive workshop, you will learn about why we all need support in our lives. You will also utilize hands-on tools to assess, plan for, and develop social connections and support. Practical tools and techniques will be shared during the training to promote the expansion of support systems and connections. Typically, system professionals do not recognize the development of support systems as an important component of their role. When families are struggling, access to support is often the answer to success. This training is ideal for anyone working with youth and families that could benefit from creating a robust support system.

 

Participants will:

  • Identify the value and benefits of social support
  • Apply tools to assess social support
  • Carry out skills to enhance social support

 

Who should attend: All staff of family resource centers (FRCs), child abuse prevention councils (CAPCs), community-based organizations, and other child- and family-serving systems.
