Editor's Notes
- Michael’s original wording: (it’s all there, just organized into Top Five, so people can digest easier) Traits of a good Mentor Causes of Snags And Barriers How to engage and bond with young adults Know the importance of being consistent Respect/ Diversity How do we as foster care and foster care alumni's bond and support each other
- Michael’s original wording: (the same, Lisa just did some minor word-smithing) Meet up in neutral area ( Find a place that’ll fit you both.) Introduce yourself allow them to introduce themselves Ice breaker HAVE FUN Listen Think Engage; Express your Bond, Connect, Relate, Remember
- Michael’s original wording: (need help in rewording three of these – we can talk out at 4:00 pm) Passing judgments, creating assumptions Try not to oversee personal question that you may have Lisa and Michael held a phone call to clarify Never over promise without including actions Breviary for a gaining Lisa and Michael held a phone call to clarify Expressing complete doubt with no given observation Lisa and Michael held a phone call to clarify
- I might recreate this so that it includes the exact same information, but is red to match the OHIO YAN powerpoint and logo
- Michael’s original wording: (the same, Lisa just did some minor word-smithing) We have been: Judged Misused Left Abandonment Most of us have been dealing with mental and physical abuse for so long on our own that we formed some sort of defensive mechanisms to protect ourselves from others. Some of us have grown numbed to the point that we feel that it is okay to be forsaken, WHEN IT IS NOT OKAY
- Michael’s original wording: We might want to recreate the circle diagram – I think I have a free app that might help And you might want to just write this on a note card and say it: We are human and we know that no one is perfect neither the greatest , however consistent effort will allow us to get closer to where we want to go
- Michael’s original wording: (the same, Lisa just did some minor word-smithing) How do we as foster Aluminous including current foster care youth Support each other? We look at each other as if we are brother’s and sister’s We support and encourage each other We follow up on how we our doing We be their for each other We engage with one and others We C.U.S. each other {Care Understand Sustain } keep it real in a respective way Then you could explain to the audience that they can use the CUS model too And put the wording below on a note card to read at this point: Care Concerned , is the start of your conversation Understand their perspective by being patient listen to what they Sustain what you have to say and follow through
- After this – you can thank participants And they can begin brainstorming
