Question 1

What is behavioral intervention training and how is it relevant in youth work?

Accepted Answer

Behavioral intervention training is designed to help youth workers understand why challenging behaviors occur. It gives them a sense of confidence and competency for handling those situations. When young people display challenging behaviors, youth workers will be able to respond to the situation effectively and use it as a learning opportunity for young people.

By taking our online training, youth workers will gain a solid foundation of knowledge about what causes challenging behaviors in young people. They will gain an understanding of the cognitive framework, and environmental and developmental factors contributing to these types of behaviors. You’ll learn practical skills to successfully navigate through difficult interactions and use them as learning opportunities.

Question 4

What kind of technical requirements are required to access your online behavioral intervention training for youth workers?

Question 5

How do I showcase my expertise from the behavior intervention training?

Accepted Answer

After each of YIPA’s training there is a brief quiz. Once you pass the quiz, you’ll earn a certification of completion. You can present that certificate to your current employer, or with an application to a future employer. Most boards also accept YIPA training as continuing education hours.
