Where Youth Work Stops and Counselling Begins: Safe Spaces and Skill Integration - Delivered by Fight or Flight Club on behalf of Youth 1st.
This workshop will be held in person - venue will be confirmed asap and organised to suit participants where possible.
Youth 1st is introducing a gentle, optional “Arrive & Reset” space before training begins — a short 20-minute pause to arrive, breathe, and settle into the day. This begins at 10am sharp (doors open 9:45am). Those not attending this part will be welcomed in from 10:20am.
This practical workshop is designed to give you the confidence to use counselling skills effectively without taking the emotional overload.
They will map out where youth work ends and therapeutic intervention begins, giving you clear boundaries to protect your own wellbeing.
You’ll learn actionable tools such as reflective responses and advanced empathy, to help co-create safe, non-judgmental environments where young people feel genuinely heard, valued and empowered as partners in the process”
Key takeaways
- Boundaries: Clear boundaries differentiating active listening and professional therapy
- Practical Toolset: Core counselling tools to confidently navigate difficult conversations
- Safe Spaces: Strategies to co-create safe spaces where young people feel safe and heard
