Inclusive Relationships
Building developmental relationships doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
The diversity of young people offers adults new opportunities to reflect on their own relationship-building and expand their efforts toward the unique needs and passions of young people from different backgrounds.
The Inclusive Relationships workshop is designed for staff from youth programs and educators to learn a research-based approach to understanding how their and their young people’s social and cultural backgrounds shape relationship-building efforts. All young people have developmental needs for identity, agency, and purpose—cultivating an inclusive approach to relationships can help caring adults build stronger relationships across social and cultural differences.
