Recognizing & Responding to Youth Risk
A 2-Day Intensive to Equip Staff for Real-World Youth Challenges in a Northern and Indigenous Context
What is From Risk to Resilience?
This is not a typical training. From Risk to Resilience is an immersive, scenario-based workshop where participants don’t just learn strategies; they practice them in real time. Over two days, staff follow realistic youth profiles from first concern, to crisis intervention to long-term resilience planning. Grounded in Indigenous knowledge and evidence-based practices, this training bridges the gap between theory and frontline action.

What Makes This Training Different
Training Modules Overview
01. Mapping Risk & Strengths
Goal: Understand what’s driving behaviour and where resilience lives.
Hands-On: Participants analyze youth profiles using a risk/resilience map to identify key drivers and protective factors.
02. ACEs, Trauma & the Pull of Gangs
Goal: Recognize how trauma shapes behaviour and opens the door to gang influence.
Hands-On: Participants trace trauma cycles, map brain impacts, and learn how unmet needs become recruitment openings and how to redirect them.
03. Motivational Interviewing in Action
Goal: Shift from “fixing” to listening and guiding change.
Hands-On: Using transcripts from their youth profiles, staff practise motivational interviewing (MI) skills like OARS with real-time feedback.
04. Mental Health & the HEART Model
Goal: Spot early mental health struggles — even when youth can’t name them.
Hands-On: Participants use the HEART model to read non-verbal cues, practise co-regulation, and create safe escalation plans.
05. Crisis & De-escalation Labs
Goal: Build calm, confident responders under pressure.
Hands-On: In live role-play labs, participants respond to escalating crisis scenarios, practising stance, pacing, tone, and de-escalation skills using a Green–Yellow–Red continuum.
