SUMMARY:Reframe: The Power of Positive Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Maine Youth Thriving (MyT) for Jobs for Maine Graduates (JMG) \n\n\n\n“The Power of Positive Experiences” is an interactive\, research-informed professional learning session designed for JMG Specialists and staff who support Maine youth in schools and communities every day. This two-hour training translates the science of resilience and Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) into practical strategies that help educators and mentors create environments where all young people can thrive. \n\n\n\nGrounded in the Science of the Positive\, this session provides both insight and action: \n\n\n\nparticipants will deepen their understanding of how early experiences shape lifelong health and well-being—and discover how intentional connection\, belonging\, and mattering can transform outcomes for the students they serve.
