JUVJ 596 - Role of the Youth Worker

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Juvenile Justice

Description:

This seminar course focuses on the youth worker. One cannot lead beyond the place one is. Pain-based behavior displayed by high-risk youth taps into the unresolved pain issues in adults. As Rev. Richard Rohr has said, "Your pain will either transform you, or you will transmit it." Particular attention is given to understanding one's own issues of pain, anger, unmet needs, and prejudice, through the use of video, experiential exercises, discussion groups and homework journaling.
