This three-part virtual workshop will begin with a screening and discussion with Victoria Mills, practicing psychoanalyst and producer/director of the documentary Like Any Other Kid. The film follows the relationships between incarcerated youth and staff in three secure facilities across the country, each implementing philosophies and techniques based on the Missouri Approach. Through scenes of conflict, loss, reflection, commitment and joy, we see youth build  lasting bonds with staff that help them in surprising ways. After the film screening, there will be an audience discussion on the interventions and techniques used by staff in the film, many of which will be further explored in the next two sessions. In this first workshop, we will also address the larger systemic issues related to institutional racism inherent in the criminal justice system and the intergenerational trauma that most of these youth experience.

The following two sessions will include Charles Galbreath Jr., trainer for Missouri Youth Services Institute (MYSI), which developed the Missouri Approach. Using short training videos  culled from outtakes of the film, Galbreath and Mills will teach skills of engagement and how to work with youths’ aggression and sense of themselves based on Missouri approach philosophy and techniques. These techniques will be presented within the larger context of how many institutions, including but not limited to the criminal justice system, have created these inequalities and hence these problems.

These two skill-building workshops will be interactive and will include breaking into smaller groups in order to practice and reflect upon using these techniques. How we understand a youth’s behavior and getting below the surface of these behaviors will be a primary focus. In these groups participants will also have the opportunity to share their own experiences, attitudes and biases about working with youth, and how these feelings impact and inform their work as social workers. Our goal is that participants leave the three sessions with a deeper understanding of the larger system issues that need to be addressed and a more diverse toolbox of skills for how to work with youth.

With this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Identify strategies and techniques to work with youth
• Bring strategies and techniques on how to work with youth into their own practice
• Identify ego strengths and resilience of many of these youth.
• Discuss the impact of institutional racism and poverty as major factors in childhood development
