Training Description
Youth Serving Organizations (YSOs) are often thought of as more leisure-oriented organizations, such as Boys & Girls Clubs, sport teams, and summer camps. In most instances, however, YSOs can be akin to that of first responders in terms of situational prevention. As such, it is important that mental health, criminal justice professionals, and YSO staff understand the need for strategized safety plans. In this presentation, attendees will learn about the scope of safety concerns in YSOs and will discuss how to identify risk within YSOs. Workshop attendees will learn the steps to applying the situational prevention approach as well as gain an understanding of how situational prevention can be utilized as an effective and sustainable strategy approach for YSOs. Finally, attendees will be presented with promising research findings from a prevention trial with Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
