Supporting an Anxious Generation - A Youthscape Essentials Online Deep Dive
Event: Supporting an Anxious Generation - A Youthscape Essentials Online Deep Dive
Date: Tuesday 4th March
Time : 7.00-8.45pm
Cost: £5 (or free for current YSE Licence holders*)
Info:
Join the Headstrong and YSE teams as we look at anxiety in young people and how we, as youth leaders, might help them learn how to feel less anxious. What is anxiety and how do young people express this? How could we support young people to respond to their own anxiety? Are there ways we can look after ourselves and others in these spaces? Laura Haddow and Robson Dodd from Headstrong, will lead our 90 minute workshop, helping us understand more about the topic of anxiety and the answers to these questions.
Led in the style of a YSE session, they will first dive into what the research and theory tells us and the implications these have for us; faith, disruption, authenticity and how we care for young people who are anxious in our spaces. We’ll then look at some practical ways in which we can support young people and co-regulate this feeling with them. In our final section of the session, we’ll look at how we can be grounded leaders, bringing calmness into a space where there is anxiety and modelling the life of Jesus.
This is an ideal opportunity to gather your team together and consider implementing simple changes and patterns in your context. The session includes pause points for discussion and deliberation and time to reflect.
This session will be recorded and available to those who aren’t able to attend the online event itself. Joining instructions will be sent out close to the event.
