Research shows that many kids do want to talk to their parents and leaders about the hard things they are facing.

The question is: are we ready to listen?

Sometimes kids are more willing to share than we realize — but we may not always know how to respond, how to ask good questions, or how to create the kind of safe space where they feel heard.

Let’s learn how to listen well, respond with wisdom, and become the kind of adults our kids can come to when life feels hard.

Ready, Set, LEAP! is a three-hour, interactive workshop for anyone who plays a meaningful role in the life of a young person, including kids/youth workers, mentors, parents, grandparents, and other trusted adults.

Cost is $15, please register in advance.
