This training teaches ways for supporting teens and young adults in shelters, outreach programs and runaway/homeless youth programs. You'll learn about the dynamics of serving this unique population and will participate in a runaway and homeless simulation exploring the barriers, isolation and lack of resources facing young adults. You'll understand the impact of domestic violence in child witnessing and within the young adults' own relationships. By learning how to assist teen and young adult survivors, you'll help them recognize their strengths and capacity for resiliency.This training provides resources, outreach strategies and a working plan to help you partner with a local youth-serving agency.
