S6. Reaching out to my friend at-risk
(by Glenn Lim)

This session will explore 3 key questions in understanding 21st century youth – WHAT, WHY and HOW.

WHAT does a post-modern teenager look like today? What are his values, aspirations, hopes, dreams? What drives them? What are the pressures they face, and how to do they cope? What kind of world does he live in, compared to previous generations? What makes them ‘at risk’?

WHY do they behave the way they do? What goes on in a youth’s mind and psyche when he makes decisions? Why are they so vulnerable in a world filled with increasing vice?

HOW do we help friends/youth thrive in the 21st century? How do we intervene, or engage them positively? This session will teach theories and skills of utilizing Positive Youth Development such as the Strengths-finder framework, 101% principle, Positive Reframing, Remove & Replace principle etc.
