| Brief Description of Presentation<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t\t | Young people use substances for a complex variety of reasons and substance involvement is often a symptom of other underlying issues. Removing a substance does not address the problems that drive young people to have unhealthy relationships with substances. What if we focused on the whole person and not just their substance use?\r\n\r\nThis workshop will present some of the key concepts of a holistic, person-driven, strengths-based coaching approach, demonstrating the efficacy of empowering young people to take the driver's seat in their own process of wellness.\r\n\r\nWe'll explore the Spectrum of Attitudes, SAMHSA's Eight Dimensions of Wellness, and the Infinite Pathways model of identifying core needs and creating highly individualized pathways of wellness for young people that are built upon a young person's strengths, values, cultures, identities, passions and uniqueness, and that are community-based, appropriate for young people, and not reliant on wellness pathways created by and for adults. \r\n<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t |
