Discover the Behavior Intervention Training You Need

You will encounter a wide variety of behavior as a youth worker. Understanding appropriate and effective behavioral interventions is fundamental to fostering positive youth development. You’ll likely have to deal with a variety of behaviors that you’ll find frustrating, difficult, and sometimes very concerning. Knowing how to respond to these behaviors may be the toughest part of the profession. In addition, no one really enjoys interacting with youth when they are oppositional, angry, and sometimes even violent. The Professional Youth Worker trainings will help you be prepared for behavioral interventions.

YIPA’s Live Online and On-Demand behavioral intervention training for youth workers is your opportunity to better understand how behavior intervention can be used to support our young people.

You can complete your training live online or on-demand. Each training is designed to be concise, specific, and practical. The knowledge and skills you gain can be put to use immediately in your daily interactions with young people in your program.

The Youth Worker Mindset

Behavior intervention training in youth work, beyond being practical and relevant information, is about helping youth workers adopt the best mindset to be able to handle different behaviors that young people are likely to display. By adopting a new and improved perspective in conjunction with improved knowledge about behaviors that young people exhibit, youth workers can more effectively intervene in a way that helps young people the most.
