Have you ever been frustrated watching a good kid wind up in the streets with the wrong people? Been stymied by the seeming impossibility of disrupting the gang cycle? This presentation is designed for the educators that see the good in at risk youth but are stuck with what they can do to work effectively with gang-affiliated youth. Dr. Ashley Brown and Emily Aihara are clinicians that have a combined 14 years of experience working directly with incarcerated youth. Both have experiences watching youth make extraordinary changes and leave "the life" behind to pursue something better. Learn the ins and outs of gang dynamics as well as effective interventions to promote positive change.
