Santee Host Workshop for Teen Center Staffers

The city of Santee’s Teen Center recently hosted a regional training workshop attended by 30 part-time youth workers from Santee, Lakeside and Spring Valley programs.  These teen and recreation clubs serve youth who range from 6^th grade to seniors in high school.

The multi-agency training focused on dealing with behavioral challenges, communicating with teens, team building and suicide prevention.

“This approach created a cost-effective way to ensure that the front line staff who make a daily impact on the lives of the youth in our communities are well trained and prepared to handle the variety of situations that arise,” said workshop organizer and Santee recreation program supervisor Aliah Brozowski.

The Santee Teen Center, located at Padre Dam’s Santee Lakes, offers a daily after school program in addition to summer day camp and leadership training for teens. For more information on the programs and schedules offered visit Teen Services.
