The New Youth Worker Survival Audio Training
Absolutely. Here’s a stronger version you can use for the Audio Training description:
The New Youth Worker Survival Audio Training is practical, real-world coaching for new and developing youth workers who want to feel more prepared before stepping onto the unit.
Juvenile justice can be demanding, and new staff are often expected to learn quickly. This 13-part audio training breaks down the everyday skills that matter most so you can build confidence, communicate better, and avoid common rookie mistakes.
Created by Maurice Williams of About That Action Consulting, this training is based on nearly 20 years of frontline juvenile justice experience.
