Impacting Teens: Creating Relationships that Transform

This seminar introduces the importance of strategic relationships with teens that will impact the rest of their lives. It can be useful for parents, youth group leaders, church members and administrators, teen outreach coordinators, or anyone else who works with young people.

The presenter shares personally how adults impacted his life at a vulnerable time and call others to do the same.  The key concept is doing the things which show value and interest in the teen and skills to increase the quality of communication.

“Impacting a Teen” can be presented in as little as 30 minutes and as long as several hours.  The longer format allows for more discussion, developing a targeted plan, and more skills focused on communication and de-escalation of high-stress situations.

Topics covered include:

  • Building rapport
  • Communicating
  • How to respond when emotions are running high
  • Danger areas to always keep in mind
