This workshop introduces practitioners to the Therapeutic Youth Work Through Sports Practice approach, combining e‑learning with practical, in‑person activities. Through the R.E.A.C.H. framework—Relationships, Environments, Activities, Conversations and Healing—participants explore how to build trust, create safe and inclusive spaces, and use sport as a vehicle for therapeutic connection. The session blends practical delivery, reflective discussion and real‑world examples to help practitioners overcome participation barriers, embed trauma‑informed practice and foster equitable, meaningful engagement with young people.
Aims of this workshop:
- To introduce the R.E.A.C.H. framework and its role in therapeutic youth work through sport.
- To build practitioners’ confidence in creating trusting, safe and inclusive relationships with young people.
- To recognise participation barriers and explore trauma‑informed, equitable approaches to overcome them.
- To develop the ability to design therapeutic environments and activities that support regulation and wellbeing.
- To strengthen skills in having purposeful, strengths‑based therapeutic conversations.
- To explore healing‑centred practices that promote agency, hope and positive growth.
