Somatic Work with Youth as HT Prevention Tool (Interactive or Lecture style)
This training is designed to explain the importance of somatic work and how it can help prevent recidivism in adults in direct service care and AWOL behavior in youth, as well as provide more connection for clients to themselves and others. Somatic work refers to a range of practices that help individuals develop a deeper understanding of their bodies of regulating emotions and energy. By teaching people to attune to their bodies and recognize their power, we can actively contribute to helping them create safer personal space. Somatic Work will give them the skills and knowledge they need to protect themselves and possibly others. They will develop a greater awareness of their boundaries and learn to assert themselves in situations where they feel uncomfortable or unsafe. By building a stronger connection with their bodies, young people can also develop a greater sense of agency and control over their lives.
