Interacting with youth to educate, empower, and enlighten is the most beneficial thing one can do to ensure that the youth of today can build self-efficacy to be leaders who act in the spirit of self-determination for tomorrow. This workshop is open to providers of youth who are interested in learning how societal factors (racism, sexism, heterosexism, militarism, etc.) play a role in youth's at-risk behavior, and how to mitigate the dangers involved that place them at-risk. Participants will look at not only how to incorporate societal factors into their prevention intervention programs, but also consider other activities, such as advocacy and peer education that can be used as effective harm reduction strategies for at-risk youth at their own programs and agencies.
