We are a non-profit life coaching providing the knowledge and skills needed by youth to avoid risk or problem behaviours. Developing positive coping skills and problem solving skills. Providing a safe environment to learn and practise life skills. Raising awareness of support available and developing skills to access support when needed. As Taby Youth empowerment we provide positive developmental settings. Positive developmental settings promote youth competence, confidence and connections.

Effective educators, parents, and community caregivers have actively worked for a long time to build paths for children to learn empowering social and emotional skills. The COVID-19 pandemic and the global protests to protect and value Black lives have facilitated greater commitment to ensuring that children’s social and emotional needs be a more explicit focus in virtual learning contexts and beyond. How can we teach self-awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making during these challenging times?
