When the starting point is what a person lacks, it creates dependency, and dependence is disempowering. When we start with successes, strengths and abilities, however, it changes the helping relationship from fixing someone, to nurturing someone’s innate potential.

As human beings we bring all of us with us wherever we go. Facilitating growth and removing barriers to employment must include engaging and developing all aspects of ourselves as people (emotional, physical, spiritual and intellectual).

To have a learner centered approach is to guide participants on the importance of being partners in their own learning, to have their experiences validated, their talents utilized and their needs addressed and respected.

Humans learn by experiencing things, and by reflecting on those experiences to find meaning. We could get fancy and call this Constructivist Learning Theory, but in the end, the important thing is that active learning and engaged participation really matter. We learn by doing.

CiU is built to address the ways that trauma can affect the brain, the body, and behavior. It also offers tools on how to create opportunities for participants to rebuild a sense of control and empowerment through collaboration, choice, mutual respect, and the building of trust.

For a limited time, CiU PD tuition is being covered via a grant from Skills for Success Canada (ESDC) – so there is no cost to individuals. View upcoming training dates and registration details on the Change it Up website changeitup.ca #changeitup #skilldevelopment
