Learning to focus on strengths instead of flaws is the focus of this year’s 9th Annual Regional Youth First Event. Charlie Applestein, an internationally known youth care specialist and author, will give the keynote address highlighting his methods of using positive and inspiring practices to help young people build on their strengths and past successes. The event will be held at the Riverside Convention Center in Stafford on Friday, February 6, 2015.
The theme of this year’s Youth First event is “Find Your Strength.” Hosted once again by Stafford County, this annual collaboration of representatives from youth services organizations in the community provides Human Services professionals from the greater Fredericksburg area with the opportunity to network with other youth service agencies and listen to talks by experts in the field.
Charlie Appplestein will also lead an afternoon breakout session on encouraging youth professionals to take care of themselves so they maintain the motivation to make a difference. Mr. Applestein is President of Applestein Training Resources, LLC. He travels throughout the United States as well as internationally, training and consulting with treatment facilities, foster care associations, parent groups, schools, and juvenile justice programs. He has authored three youth care books widely used within the field, including “No Such Thing as a Bad Kid,” which will be the basis of his keynote address.
