Mark your calendars for a Youth Worker Cafe on Having Difficult Conversations with Kids on October 18 from 11 am - 1 pm at the Columbus Learning Center. Lunch will be provided, so RSVP!

Our kids are navigating a variety of personal, community-wide, and national-level experiences that can be troubling, harmful, or leave them with questions. We will discuss how to have critical conversations on topics our youth may want to dive into, including race, gender, and suicide. This conversation will build trust and invite discussion to facilitate different viewpoints. Diving into uncomfortable conversations can be awkward and hard, but it can start with us. This workshop aims to provide youth workers with more tools to build meaningful relationships with youth while discussing what is happening around and within us.
