Looking to more meaningfully engage youth and young adults (YYA) with lived experience in your work? TNOYS’ Blueprint for Youth Engagement (BYEn) is a first-of-its-kind training series on best practices to effectively engage YYA as clients, collaborators, and employees. Each training draws from lived expertise and cutting-edge research to deliver the most effective strategies and best practices in youth-adult partnership, trauma-informed approaches, centering youth voices, and much more.

Each training is 3-4 hours, and approximately 18 CEUs are available for the full series. You may register for either the full series or for individual trainings. Learn about each training here.

  • Thursday, November 7, (9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.): Creating a Trauma-Informed Workplace
  • Thursday, November 14, (10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., including lunch break): Employing Youth with Lived Experiences

One-Time Opportunity: Access Free Technical Assistance (TA) When You Register for the Five-Part Series! Registrants of the full BYEn series are eligible for a free certification credential with 2-3 consultation sessions on a youth engagement project. This is a one-time opportunity, as future BYEn series will offer credentialing at a fee. Don’t miss the chance for customized TA from TNOYS! You will have the option to indicate interest in the certification when you register. Please email practice@tnoys.org with any questions.

TNOYS’ next trainings on the Commercial Sexual Exploitation-Identification Tool (CSE-IT) take place Thursday, November 14th and Thursday, December 19th. The CSE-IT, a research-based screening tool that helps improve early identification of commercially sexually exploited youth (CSEY), is appropriate for any provider serving youth including child welfare workers, probation officers, mental health clinicians, and first responders. Training participants will become certified CSE-IT users, learn next steps to access and use the Lighthouse platform, and earn 3.5 continuing education credit hours and a CSE-IT User Training certification.
