SAFETEEN and the Justice Institute of British Columbia have partnered to launch five new SAFETEEN trainings! Participants will receive a SAFETEEN/JIBC certificate upon completion. Please see the training descriptions and registration information below. Trainings are open to anyone working with youth.
1. POWW – Path of Wise Warriors: An Aboriginal Youth Empowerment Course POWW: Path of Warriors – This is a 2-day TRAIN THE TRAINER for youth workers, mental health professionals, law enforcement, educators, and anyone who is looking for ways to connect with the aboriginal youth they live and/or work with. Based on the internationally acclaimed SAFETEEN violence prevention program, the POWW Program demonstrates skills for youth to stand up and speak up for what they believe in, without violence. Developed by a First Nations woman, POWW incorporates First Nations culture and spiritual practice into the teachings, making it relevant specifically to First Nations youth and their communities. The focus will be on empowerment, safety and overcoming barriers to success for First Nations youth. All beings welcome. A SAFETEEN in partnership with JIBC certificate will be awarded upon completion. Trainer: Sherry Simon Oct 26/27 2007 (Fri/Sat) – NWC Fee: $270; group rate, $250 #CY175 2. See Jane Fly: A Passion, Potential, and “POWER-UP” Course for Women This is a “POWER-UP” course for women who work and live in the giving mode: therapists, teachers, social workers, health professionals, and women who are taking care of loved ones. This two-day experiential training will give participants tools to pass on to the people they work with and care for while learning how to “POWER-UP” and redirect some of that giving energy to themselves. Issues explored include emotions and the body: anger, shame, fear, grief, additive behaviours. With gentleness, passion, and a playful spirit, participants will be invited to release their truth and unearth their full potential. Through writing, Mandela drawing, meditation, voice work, movement and truth telling, we will practice and experience the power of truth: in learning to speak our truth, we are making a profound transformation of self. When we speak the truth about our lives, we can begin to feel our passion, release our creativity, and manifest our potential. We can honour the past for what it has taught us and we can be in the present with a softer heart. We can feel the wind in our hair, a smile on our face, open our arms to the future and fly. All women 18 and up who wish to fly are welcome. A SAFETEEN in partnership with JIBC certificate will be awarded upon completion. Trainer: Anita Roberts, SAFETEEN founder Nov 16/17 2007 (Fri/Sat) - NWC Fee: $270; group rate, $250 #COUNS119 3. My Body is Not Your Playground: Sexual Boundaries Course for Female Youth This 2-day TRAIN THE TRAINER for mental health professionals, youth and family workers, law enforcement, and educators has been developed in response to the escalation of casual sex amongst teens. Schools all over North America are requesting help with this disturbing trend. An increasing number of teens are participating in friends with benefits - a casual, non-emotional approach to sexual activity. The girls say they are maintaining their virginity and rationalizing that it's "not really sex." Of particular concern are 12 – 14 year-old girls giving older boys oral sex. The My Body is Not Your Playground training will offer skills for helping girls and young women identify and nurture Core Strength. The influences of media, magazines and the internet and ways in which girls are socialized to give up their power to boys will be examined. The focus will be on strategies for teaching girls to establish boundaries and find their power in relationship to sexual consent. A SAFETEEN in partnership with JIBC certificate will be awarded upon completion. Trainer: Anita Roberts, SAFETEEN founder Feb 1/2 2008 (Fri/Sat) - NWC Fee: $270; group rate, $250 #CY177 4. The Power of Choice: Sexual Boundaries Course for Male Youth In this 2-day TRAIN THE TRAINER for mental health professionals, youth and family workers, law enforcement, and educators, participants will examine male issues of sexuality and power. The group will participate in an exploration of the Male Code of Conduct; where/how it’s learned and how it operates to control the choices young men make. The focus will be skills for coaching young men to critically examine what they’ve been taught and to step up to the authentic power of choice. We know most men do not choose to be violent. We believe that boys and young men can choose to respect their own sexual boundaries and the sexual boundaries of the girls and women in their lives - when they are taught how to make choices from an informed and empowered place. The Power of Choice will include: impact of media, internet porn, peer influence and importance of role-models. Participants will work in both gender-separate and coed format. All beings welcome. A SAFETEEN in partnership with JIBC certificate will be awarded upon completion. Trainer: Bill Pozzobon Feb 1/2 2008 (Fri/Sat) - NWC Fee: $270; group rate, $250 #CY178 5. Not a Stone Left Unturned This is a valuable 2-day TRAIN THE TRAINER for mental health professionals, law enforcement, youth workers and educators. In this powerful new training, women and men will explore youth culture from both a female and male perspective. Women will learn to navigate the language and rituals of teenage boys, and men will explore the complexities of the teen girl world. The Not a Stone Left Unturned training will address unflinchingly the raw world of today’s youth. Participants will tackle issues such as gender and violence, racism and homophobia, media and music, hip hop and spoken word, pornography and sexuality, impact of the internet, fashion choices, disordered eating and other self-harming practices. The dynamics of anger and fear and how we can teach our youth to manage these powerful emotions will be demonstrated. Co-facilitated by female and male trainers, the 2 days will alternate between a gender-separate and coed format. All beings welcome. A SAFETEEN in partnership with JIBC certificate will be awarded upon completion.
