Safety in Speaking Out

We are challenging youth to think outside the box when speaking about our feelings and emotions. In this course youth will learn:

-The importance of speaking with love

-Choosing the right and most effective words

-How to effectively communicate their feelings

-Share their unapologetic overcoming stories with others

Let us help you to help your youth speak out in a positive way. There is safety when we are given the right resources and tools in doing so.

All sessions are free and held on Thursday at the West Charlotte Rec Center. Registration is required!

Help Adolescents Speak Out is committed to helping youth shift their mindset around youth violence with resiliency and safety. In doing so, we are providing Out social norms workshops and community events. We are in partnership with ReCAST Mecklenburg, churches, Mecklenburg County Parks & Recreational Centers to Prevent Youth Violence.

All events are no cost to ReCAST Mecklenburg participants.  Participants - please fill out an application and signed agreement on registration form.
