Webinar: W.A.I.T. What Am I Thinking? Change Perceptions, Change Outcomes
Date: Thursday May 18th, 2023
Webinar Time: 12:00pm-1:30pm EST
Presenter Name: Rick Hollering, Youth Services Alliance

W.A.I.T. What Am I Thinking? is a framework to stimulate discussion around the idea that every action has a consequence, either good or bad. How does that consequence affect our future outcomes? How does it affect others around us? Our friendships? We can train our brain to capture those negative thoughts and change our internal program to create the future we desire. We will explore some of the top social emotional learning topics and demonstrate how to teach them in a simple way that educators and professionals working with youth can apply. This program combines neuroscience, mindfulness, self-regulation, and trauma-informed care into a non-threatening, conversational format.

Objectives:
1. Understand the science behind changing outcomes by changing perceptions.
2. Develop skills for understanding and changing behavior with youth.
3. Identify strategies to listen non-judgmentally and better connect with youth.
