Seeking recommendations for materials to share with youth ages 16-24 who are in a job skills learning program. Open access - links, pdfs, etc would be ideal.
Specifically looking for materials that convey self-regulation in a visually engaging, graphic format.
And, any other ideas or suggestions!
Thanks,
Karen
Good for you that you want to reach youth in a job skills program! Self regulation is so important!
Mind Matters: Overcoming Adversity and Building Resilience is the program that Wendie mentioned and Carolyn wrote for this age group because it can help you guide your young people towards healing.
It is meant to be taught by a paraprofessional in a classroom or other group setting with young people who have experienced early trauma. Its 12 lessons are engaging as well as comprehensive in scope.
