Topic, Learning Goals and Methods:
The course focuses on resilience, mental health and wellbeing in everyday youth work. Participants will learn how to listen actively, ask supportive questions, recognise stress and emotional overload, create psychologically safe spaces and maintain appropriate professional boundaries.
