At-risk youth face unique challenges that can impact their educational success, well-being, and future opportunities. This workshop will explore key concerns within the education and youth support sectors, focusing on strategies to enhance engagement and well-being for at-risk youth.

Educational Psychologist Kiera will share insights on innovative interventions that foster resilience, motivation, and long-term success.

Some key areas she will cover include:

  • Increasing motivation to engage in the learning process – strategies to make learning more meaningful and relevant for disengaged youth.
  • Supporting the impact of co-existing mental health challenges on learning – practical approaches to address anxiety, trauma, and other mental health concerns that affect academic success.
  • Building strong relationships and trust – the role of mentorship and positive adult connections in fostering a sense of belonging and stability.

Kiera is currently working as an Educational Psychologist on the Sunshine Coast, Australia, and will return to NZ specifically for this conference – and to see mum and dad!

"Unlike scientific community programmes that are expensive and require lots of investment, field work is done by individuals and is accessible to anyone. The skills gained during field work open up a huge area for everyone undertaking it."
