Supporting the Use of Reaching Teens

Youth serving agencies, organizations, or programs that use Reaching Teens as a tool to enhance professionals’ capacity to serve youth may want to orient their staff to strength-based, resilience-building, trauma-sensitive strategies of care. Dr. Ginsburg offers 4-to-8-hour seminars that introduce groups to the theoretical and philosophical frameworks that underpin all these applied strategies. Then, the seminars offer participants practical approaches that address adolescents’ risk by building on their strengths. On the day of these workshops, he will work with program administrators to prepare them to best tailor “Reaching Teens” for their setting.

Dr. Ginsburg is committed to helping organizations unlock the potential of this American Academy of Pediatrics Product. His travel time and ability to accept formal speaking engagements is limited. Therefore, he will meet virtually with large organizations licensing Reaching Teens to help them consider how best to utilize this toolkit. He also may suggest connecting with other agencies with extensive experience implementing Reaching Teens.
