How do we respond when sensitive or challenging topics come up with young people? This interactive session will explore practical strategies for navigating difficult conversations, balancing youth voice with appropriate boundaries, and knowing when to step in or seek additional support. Participants will work through real-world afterschool scenarios and leave with approaches they can use right away.
