Young people aged 12–24 are growing up in a world where they are constantly influenced by family, friends, social media, school, sporting clubs, and many other people and experiences. These influences can build confidence, resilience and healthy decision-making, or they can contribute to stress, poor choices, conflict and mental health challenges.

This practical three-hour presentation is designed for adults to gain practical insights into how these influences shape a young person's behaviour, identity, wellbeing and future decisions, and the simple, effective ways to provide the support they need.

You will learn:

• sources and methods of influence on young people

• how influence shapes behaviour, sense of self, and wellbeing

• indicators of positive and negative influence on a young person

• ways to help young people manage influence on them

For all adults - no prior experience or knowledge is necessary
