Workshop #1:

Relationship Recovery and Resilience

This workshop has been our most popular training offering since 2007. It has been offered to over 2000 foster parents, social workers, support workers and parents who live and work with teens across Canada.

And now, it’s available to parents and caregivers just like you. Hundreds of child and youth caring professionals refer to Steve’s Getting to Better workshop series as “one of the best trainings in child welfare” and as “the most practical and concrete approach for working with difficult teens”.

Strong relationships and effective communication are critical for fostering motivation, enthusiasm, and cooperation in the process of building safe, responsible and productive young people. This one day workshop will provide you with the information, tools and techniques PROVEN to significantly improve relationships and communications with youth.

By the end of this session, you will be equipped NOT ONLY with the powerful tools needed for building and/or strengthening relationships with the pre-teens and teens in your life, but you will uncover your own unique strengths and talents for raising healthy, happy, resilient children.

Workshop #2:

Effective Discipline for Building Respectful, Responsible and Resilient Youth

This workshop was developed out of the work with over 1000 youth and 400 families, many who were struggling with a variety of issues ranging from minor but aggravating to outright, “out of control” interactions and behaviours. It has been adapted from the Relationship Based Strengths Approach to Discipline with Youth (© de Groot, 2004, 2011) which has been integral in better equipping more than 5000 people all over Canada and the world who work or live with pre teens and teens.

Thousands of foster parents, parents, social workers, child and youth workers, teachers, youth justice officers, probation officers have been able to Get to Better with their own children and their clients with the information offered in this Workshop.
