Description

RAP training provides all who care about and work with young people the practical tools to respond to needs instead of reacting to problems. —Lesley du Toit, Pretoria, South Africa

This foundation course puts the Circle of Courage model into practice to meet needs for Belonging, Mastery, Independence, and Generosity. Response Ability Pathways gives helpers the abilities to respond to needs and enables youth to take pathways to responsibility. RAP uses three natural brain-based problem-solving strategies: Connecting for support, Clarifying challenges, and Restoring respect. Problems become learning opportunities as cooperation replaces conflict. These helping strategies are universal across cultures, designed in our DNA to enable humans to support one another and live in harmony. RAP co-authors Larry Brendtro and Lesley du Toit translate research on resilience, trauma, culture, and neuroscience into terms readily understandable by lay person and professional alike. Training is enriched with video clips and experiential learning activities. RAP is relevant to parents, mentors, educators, youth workers, clinicians, and youth who gain skills to help their peers and family.
