P.I.R.S. Youth Summer Intern Program
P.I.R.S. Youth Summer Intern Program is provided in collaboration with Warm Springs Community Counseling and Warm Springs Community Action Team. We provide youth programs that is trauma-informed and "hides the medicine in the cheese." We strive to provide safe environment where youth felt comfortable to be themselves and could share honestly about the challenges in their lives. At the same time, we also teach and facilitate podcasting (how to make your own podcast), life skills, somatic exercises, coping skills, music lessons, guitar lessons, outdoor adventures, nervous system regulation education and other trauma-informed approaches to learning how to regulate and be with big emotions as well as alchemizing difficult challenges into growth opportunities.
