Results In Improved Outcomes For Youth
Staff learn how to engage with and support youth. Youth learn to engage and support one another, leading to improved outcomes.
Utilizes Personal Stories
Stories provide a means of sharing history, tacit knowledge, critical thinking, and important details. They connect us to other people and give us the opportunity to rewrite a self narrative.
The Reasons Behind the Platform
At risk youth need personal growth to change their trajectories, they likely have experienced:
- Episodes of abuse from adults;
- A history of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES);
- Poor choices with severe consequences; Few positive examples of pro-social development.
Many staff supporting at-risk youth overworked and need:
- Knowledge of which protective factors youth need to grow;
- Assessments that measure needs of youth;
- A system that requires supporting youth change; and
- Staff that is focused on youth programming.
This approach focuses growth on activities that are personally meaningful to youth. It is available anytime, anywhere in personalized technologies that youth already use. It connects youth with believable stories from relatable peers pursuing change. It supports progress across experiences and over time in ways that validate success. And, it allows trained growth facilitators to provide support and organization to track progress.
