When Youth Feel Helpless and Out of Control: What You Can Do To Build Emotional Resilience During Adolescence
All youth face adversity. As parents, educators and mental health professionals you likely experience the effects of this —the tears, the slammed doors, and dramatic meltdowns…
*Please note, ONLINE and safe social distancing options of Kate’s presentation are now available for your school or organization.
Kate teaches parents, educators, and mental health professionals her proven three-step method of helping reluctant teens develop more resilience—especially if they’re skeptical and totally not interested in “looking on the bright side.”
Kate Gladdin is an acclaimed Youth Resilience Expert and International Motivational Speaker from Australia who now resides in New Jersey. She’s spoken to over 200,000 teens about building the resilience to overcome any adversity. After her presentations, audience members are excited to meet her and she often hears feedback that her presentations are “life-changing!”
Why are teens so stressed out?
What’s got them reacting in such out of control ways? And most importantly, how can we better support them and help them step up and out of victimhood with increased resiliency?
Join Australia’s 100 Women of Influence & International Youth Speaker, Kate Gladdin, for her eye-opening presentation that dives into the cause of this epidemic and the solution to it.
Once a grieving sister battling anxiety and an eating disorder, Kate combines her inspiring story with her skills as a certified life coach to equip you with a powerful 3-step strategy you can use to help youth take back a sense of control over how they’re feeling and reacting—even when there's nothing you can do about what they think is causing it.
Kate understands how to truly connect with kids. Students describe her approach as “life changing’’ and “exactly what I needed.”
She’ll teach you how to tune in to what the kids in your life are craving so you can have a positive and lasting impact on their ability to face challenges without crumbling.
In those times when you don’t know what to say to a struggling teen, often what we feel compelled to say actually makes things worse! Teens (as you’ve already probably experienced) pull away from adults when they don’t feel safe, heard, or validated.
If you’re tired of walking on eggshells or bulldozing your way through important conversations with the teenagers in your life with stress and frustration, this presentation is for you!
Kate will teach you proven life coaching tools to help you navigate youth resilience issues with increased finesse and significantly less stress.
With her signature sense of humor, humility, and relaxed style of connecting with people of all ages, Kate will empower you with the tools and knowledge you need to empower the youth in your life through the turbulence of adolescence—so they can overcome any challenge no matter how unexpected, uncertain, or unwanted it may be.
Kate will teach you how to:
Recognize the impact of negative thoughts and self-talk
Understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and reactions
Use a simple 3-step strategy to quickly change unhelpful thoughts
Identify sneaky negative beliefs and transform them
Develop a growth mindset during times of adversity
Ongoing support…
Many speakers can give people an hour of inspiration, but Kate provides ongoing support through her weekly podcast geared for teens and the people who love them called Okay, Now What?!
Her digital Resilience Resource Library is also available anytime, anywhere. Students and adults can access the library for life-skill tools that will help them keep improving the way they adapt to uncertainty and obstacles!
“When I heard that Kate was coming to the NAMI Conference from Australia I obviously expected her to one of the best speakers in the world. Kate was not what I was expecting…she actually exceeded my expectations. Not only is this incredibly resilient young lady inspirational, but she also left every one of the hundreds of mental healthcare providers at this conference with even more education than we came into the room with. #the3Rs”
