The Action Factory Podcast - Youth Work that Lasts a Lifetime.Author: The Action Factory
A gathering place for enduring ideas in youth work that just wont go away. After decades on the front lines of youth work and therapy, Michael recognized a significant gap in the sectora lack of a dedicated, practical framework. This realization led him to develop The Solutions Toolkit, a program designed specifically for youth workers. Built around an Absorb & Practice model, the toolkit enables skill-building on the job, with modules broken down into practical, bite-sized units. These can be completed in as little as 30 minutes after a team meeting. Each team member receives lifetime access and a physical workbook to reinforce the skills theyve acquired.
