Behaviour Management Resources 

Do you want to know more about how to best support youth in your sections who need different approaches to feel comfortable and included?

These are the resources for you!  

Webinar:


We have also developed the Mental Health and Behaviour Management Support Resource. It prepares you with strategies when working with younger sections, youth with Autism, ADHD and anxiety. It also comes with the Child Development Map to help determine if the activities that you are doing with your section are age and developmentally appropriate for your youth. Check it out here.

Also remember to reach out to your GC, Group Support Scouter, or Relationship Manager for more assistance and strategies in supporting our youth.
Settler Solidarity Workshop

Are you a non-Indigenous person looking to deepen your understanding of what it means to be a settler? It is imperative always and especially now that settlers take meaningful action and hold ourselves, our communities, and our governments to account. Come join us on Wednesday June 30th @ 5pm EDT on Zoom to talk about settler responsibility and ways to build solidarity with Indigenous Sovereignty movements. More: https://bit.ly/SettlerSolidarity

This workshop was created by Rae Paul, a second generation settler and mixed Asian/Guyanese person, and Carmel Farahbakhsh, a second generation settler and mixed Iranian immigrant, with the support of Calen Sack. L'nu & Nehiyaw. The workshop will examine sustainable, tangible, and care-based ways to intentionally engage and offer support as settlers.
