    MHTTC Webinar: W.A.I.T. What Am I Thinking? Change Perceptions, Change Outcomes

    12:00 -13:30
    18/05/2023

    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.

    Speaker Bio: Rick Hollering is a Certified Human Behavior Consultant who for the last 30 years has been helping others maximize their potential and productivity. His goal has been to study human behavior while identifying and breaking barriers to change. With a background as a corporate trainer and business consultant, Rick used his experience training corporations, business leaders, sports teams, and professionals as a foundation to work with youth. He has created two workshops, “Understanding Group Dynamics” and “Connecting with Others,” to train and equip youth leaders and mentors to be more effective in reaching youth and families.
