The Council Facilitator Training
The Council (previously Boys Council) a project of GCA / Tides, is a strengths-based group approach to promote boys’ and young men’s safe, strong and healthy passage through pre-teen and adolescent years. The Council Facilitator Trainings will provide an in-depth description of boys and young men’s identity formation and a model to ignite their potential to revision a hopeful, empowered life through the context of a secure and caring community of male peers and adults. Stressors, messages, and conditions that influence boys’ and young men’s self-concept and behaviors, as well as risk and resiliency factors in male adolescent development will be presented. Participants will gain a direct experience of a Council session with each of its components. Additionally, in The Council training, a particular focus will be on meeting the unique needs, demands and behaviors of boys, which are most successful with a good balance of activities, structure, fun, and engaging discussions.
