About Bret

 

Wispy Demon Image

     

        I teach and facilitate a number of workshops, as well as give presentations on adolescence and my material.  The only thing more interesting than working with teens is teaching about them.  Below are links to pages explaining the workshops and presentations I do.  Most of my material is modular, so to speak, so that it can be mixed and matched, or broken down into smaller or individual components.  Also, most material is appropriate for anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who works with adolescents:   Foster parents, group home or residential staff, teachers, case or social workers, therapists, and of course, good old-fashioned biological parents.

Go to the Adolescent Mind Workshop page

The Adolescent Mind starts conceptual and historical, looking at how adolescents have been worldwide and throughout history.  Then it narrows down in focus to dealing with modern, American youth.

 

Go to The Journey Workshop page

The Journeyâ is David Oldfield's amazing mythological guided imagery for teens, accompanied by an array of exercises, artwork, mask making, etc.

 

Go to the Hero's Journey Workshop page

The Hero's Journey is a classic, archetypal model for helping teens through adolescence and into manhood or womanhood.  Used across the globe and throughout millennia, the Hero's Journey can be used to track individuals, or it can be woven into treatment models.

Guided Imagery & Visualization Workshop--Learn to deliver and create guided imageries.  Fun and imaginative, these help get you symbols and metaphors from your clients or children.

The Adolescent Spirit picks up where the Adolescent Mind leaves off.  This workshop is experiential, putting into practice the concepts learned in the Adolescent Mind.  Topics include dreamwork, mask making, personal mythologies, and storytelling, among others.

Transpersonal Approaches to Working with At-Risk and High-Risk Youth
This highly creative workshop helps expand skills and approaches to working with teens.  Participants learn to make masks, guided imagery, use labyrinths, storytelling, ritual and ceremony, as well as many other innovative techniques that approach the teen as a whole person: mind, body and spirit.
