Power Source Professional Trainings
One-Day Training for Professionals in
Emotional Literacy Skills for Highly At-Risk Youth

with Bethany Casarjian, Ph.D.,
Co-author of Power Source: Taking Charge of Your Life and
Clinical Director of the National Emotional Literacy Project for Youth at Risk
and Robin Casarjian, M.A.
co-author of Power Source: Taking Charge of Your Life and Director of The Lionheart Foundation

The Power Source Emotional Literacy Training Program for Professionals is a one-day introductory training presented by the authors of the highly acclaimed book and program, Power Source: Taking Charge of Your Life. The Power Source program speaks specifically to the challenges facing highly at-risk teens and young adults. Published in 2003 and enthusiastically embraced by professionals and youth alike, Power Source is currently in use in hundreds of programs nationwide.

In the training, participants can expect a new synthesis of theory, practical skills, and inspiration. The facilitators present concepts and techniques to promote emotional growth with this highly at-risk population and offer approaches to integrating aspects of the Power Source program into individual and group work with youth.

Among the topics the training addresses are:


•	The cycle of high - risk behavior
•	Techniques and strategies targeting impulse control, anger-management, stress-reduction and conflict resolution
•	Lost childhoods: examining cycles of abuse and neglect and the resulting feelings of shame, grief, anger
•	Victim awareness and taking responsibility for offending behavior
•	The development of a cohesive sense of self with a positive future orientation
