Walking alongside at-risk rangatahi: Harnessing the potential for change in substance misuse, mental health issues, and offending | Christchurch | Pete Thorburn

• Do you want to increase your understanding of the complex interplay between unmet needs, underlying conditions, and social/systemic factors affecting rangatahi?

•  Are you seeking approaches to co-create solutions with rangatahi, leveraging their strengths and capabilities to drive their own change?

Join us for a one-day training experience in Christchurch that will equip the workforce with skills to engage effectively with rangatahi. The training will delve into key topics that are directly relevant to frontline mahi with rangatahi in various settings, including residential care, supported bail, alternative education, and community settings.

In this training, participants will:

•    Gain a deeper understanding of the interconnections between unmet needs, underlying conditions, and the social and systemic factors.
•    Explore strategies for fostering a sense of agency and ownership in rangatahi, ensuring their voices are heard and respected.
•    Navigate substance misuse, mental health, and offending behaviours. 
•    Explore evidence-based practices and interventions that address the root causes and empower rangatahi to make sustainable changes.
