The #MRWDE Facilitator Training is a 3-hour, interactive session designed for educators, youth leaders, and community partners across Delaware (and Maryland). It prepares participants to implement a statewide, strength-based initiative that connects youth passions to protective factors against risky behaviors like substance misuse. Using the MRW curriculum, youth create prevention-focused PSA videos that inspire their communities. The training offers hands-on experience, adaptation strategies for various settings, and tools to guide youth in positive campaigns. Participants gain full curriculum materials, a clear understanding of the #MRWDE framework, and the confidence to lead impactful workshops. Connect with other prevention-focused leaders through this initiative.
Libraries stand at a crisis point, contending with sweeping budget cuts, escalating censorship, and intensifying onslaughts of misinformation. Now more than ever, libraries must take control of their stories to counter misleading rhetoric and build support as traditional revenue streams disappear.
This workshop will empower participants to: Master Your Narrative: Develop compelling, data-backed stories to safeguard the library’s role as a community cornerstone, vital for education, democracy, and equity. Persuade with Purpose: Use strategic communication to build stakeholder support and withstand attacks. Optimize Your Work-Life: Learn practical tools for burnout prevention—streamline workflows, prioritize high-impact services, and recover energy in challenging environments.
