This course lays a theological, theoretical and philosophical methodology for working with juvenile offenders in ways that transform character. It is grounded in Scripture, research evidence on resilience and transformational change theory, brain science, and positive youth development, translating the latest research into practical methods for creating transformational environments and interactions that are proven effective for even the most challenging youth.

This online platform is designed so that participants will gain specific competencies that can be passed on to other staff and volunteers with the goal of helping them become more effective in working with high risk youth.
