How we can help youth-supporting advocates
Youth-serving advocates like health care providers, coaches, local and state agencies, businesses, non-profits, community organizations and mental health providers play an important role in youth development. By learning best practices for communication and being a resource, you can help youth maneuver through today’s social-emotional challenges. OP offers:
Professional development and training on topics like collective trauma and care, weight bias and body diversity, and adolescent sexuality.
Resources for you to share with parents and girls, including information about our after & out-of-school programming, therapy services, and parent education opportunities.
Upcoming conferences and retreats specifically for youth-serving professionals.
How OP empowered us to help youth…
“Thank you (for our presentation)! It was helpful to define terms. It was also helpful when you explained the motivation for behaviors. It helps to have examples and language to share with clients, caregivers and guardians!”
