Reclaiming Youth International is pleased to announce our 20th Annual Black Hills Seminars.
Hosts Martin Brokenleg, Steve Van Bockern, Larry Brendtro, and Mark Freado invite you to recharge your spirits in the inspirational setting of the Black Hills of South Dakota. Join us as we present innovative approaches for building relationships with youth, fostering their self-esteem, and instilling positive values in classroom, residential treatment, counseling, and correctional settings.
These seminars provide practical and proven strategies for anyone who works in prevention, treatment, or education with challenging youth and children. While attending these seminars, you will be able to network with leading-edge presenters and like-minded colleagues who are creating environments in which all young people thrive. Prior to the conference, you can choose from a variety of interactive training sessions that last anywhere from four hours up to five days. This is an educational experience that will provide you with invaluable knowledge and expertise. You won’t want to miss it!
