Building Trust

Let's Do This

Building trust with young people is essential because it helps them feel safe, valued and supported. When they trust you, they're more likely to open up, share their thoughts and seek guidance.

Here are some ways to build trust: Model for them healthy relationships, communication and conflict management skills. Show up when they need you, even if it's just to listen. Be patient - trust takes time to grow but makes a HUGE difference. 

Stay Inspired

Foster a non-judgmental environment that encourages open dialogue, allowing youth to express their thoughts and experiences without fear of criticism. Thank you to Caron Treatment Centers for this week's tip. For more ways to Build Trust visit https://www.caron.org/.
