Guiding Youth through the Challenges of Puberty & Gender-Confusion

RECORDED: OCTOBER 26, 2022

Presented by Mary Anne Mosack, Pres./CEO, Ascend & Peggy Pecchio, Executive Director, Operation Keepsake

Now more than ever, as youth endure a barrage of confusing and often aggressive messages about gender, it is critical that SRAE facilitators renew their focus to intentionally address the physical, emotional, and social aspects of puberty with adolescents. The increasing number of gender-confused youth in our programs compels us to help all youth navigate this emotionally chaotic period of change with sound information and critical-thinking skills for healthy decision-making. Join us for this SRAE Edge webinar in which we will discuss the research and rhetoric surrounding gender identity issues, and how SRAE facilitators can equip youth to develop the skills and mindset to evaluate and respond to the ideologically charged messages they receive on this issue.

Triggering Hope Among Youth

Practical Application for the SRAE Presenter

RECORDED: JULY 19, 2022

Presented by Tracey Pike, Executive Director, Ascend

Trigger Warning: This webinar may increase positive outcomes among youth! SRAE facilitators will learn practical techniques to apply science of hope concepts and strategies to curricula presentations. Hope is not merely wishful thinking. Youth can learn how to follow pathways that can actualize hope as an internal asset. They can be empowered toward achieving goals that seemed out of reach in their lived experience. Just as SRAE facilitators should be trauma-informed, they should also be hope-informed presenters.
