Talk presented Sat, May 18, 2002 at the Urban Youth Workers Institute Conferrence 2002.

Having watched urban programs succeed and fail since the 1960’s, we’ll discuss critical principles and current resources, including the Ten Stages of Youth Ministry and the Four Basic Questions. Best practices will be discussed and further resources provided.

From the Gospels to Antwone Fisher to a
scene from a school counselor’s office, we’ll
discuss our responsibility and needed skills
in dealing with young people who may be
hostile, angry, hurting or deeply confused.
Recommended resources include Larry
Brendtro and Scott Larson’s The Resilience
Revolution, the Forty Assets, and More.

Responding To Our Emotional Hurts: Self-Healing For Leaders
Helping Hurting Kids People seem to be hurting and desperate
these days. Some screaming hurts; some subtle, even hidden, pain.
Christ’s was a healing ministry. Many children and youth suffer from
PTSD; others are just confused, hurting and trying to cover it up.
This Elective examines how our healing ministry must begin with us;
we need the courage to face past hurts and be well.
