SCHEDULE FOR PITTSBURGH

Dangerous Opportunity: Helping Kids + Families in Crisis
(Critical Concerns Courses)
Oct 30 6:00 PM-9:00 PM
Pittsburgh

Bullying, cutting, death, divorce, eating disorders, sexual assault, suicide, violence, addiction... If you work with kids and families, you will face crisis—the question is whether you’ll know what to do. This interactive experience prepares novice and veteran youth workers and educators to distinguish crisis from normal adolescent angst; how to respond effectively in two dozen widespread crisis scenarios; when and how to call in reinforcements, how to guide kids into healthy self-assessment; and how to partner with parents and schools before, during, and after a crisis.
