Teens Alive

Identity, relationship and independence for teens

People in their teens have an important opportunity to develop a strong sense of 'self'. If you can learn to communicate clearly from this place of strength, you can improve and deepen friendships and relationships and learn to be emotionally self-supporting rather than dependent on family and others. Teens Alive is designed to encourage you in this process.

Teens Alive is for people from 14 to 19 who want to:

• Become comfortable speaking their own truth in a responsible way
• Develop stronger self-esteem and self-acceptance
• Be less defensive and more outgoing
• Make relationships work
• Deal with conflict
• Discuss topics such as vocation, school, sex, music, violence, drugs, parents, family, authorities
• Have fun and get to know other teens
• Enjoy The Haven's beautiful natural surroundings and its oceanside facilities - including swimming pool, hot tub, gym, games room with air hockey, pool table and video games, and music and dance facilities.

Format: Teens Alive is divided into three parts, which run back to back and build one on another. Participants can attend one, two, or all three parts; they can be done all in one year, or over two or more years. The only requirement is that they be done in order. You must be 16 or over to take Teens Alive III.

The dates for the Youth Intern Training in 2011 are July 3-6. For more information about Youth Intern Training, please contact the registrar at 1-877-247-9238 ext.234 or by email.

Note: Teens will stay in resort accommodation with a parent or guardian. Parents or guardians are responsible for teens outside their session times.

Faculty: Linda Nicholls, David Raithby
