Webinar Description: Join us for an engaging 1 hour online workshop exploring fast- implementing strategies for developing trust with vulnerable learners. — This session will cover actionable techniques designed to establish emotional safety, promote engagement, and build positive relationships in your program.
Participants will learn how to implement strategies like Pepper with Purpose, Mirror the 4 C’s, Reach Inside, and UPR Statements to address dimensions of trust. These interrelated techniques work together to create a foundation where participants feel valued, respected, and connected to both peers and practitioners. By prioritizing trust, practitioners enable participants to overcome social and academic barriers, reduce anxiety, and engage more fully in learning.
Key Takeaways:
Understand the biological and psychological drivers of motivation in young adults and the impact of trauma and vulnerability on these drivers.
Learn practical strategies to foster trust quickly in contexts where participants are vulnerable.
