- At-risk CPS students are learning how to slow down their thinking to achieve life-changing goals. Anuj Shah of Chicago Booth explains how Youth Guidance's Becoming A Man (BAM) program is helping young men graduate high school. Read more about BAM: www.youth-guida....
Helping young men slow down and reflect before reacting is a skill that can change the course of their lives. In my work, I’ve seen how important it is to not just teach these concepts, but to provide practical tools like BAM does. Empathy and self-awareness can truly be life-changing! Thanks for highlighting the success of this incredible program-I cover similar topics in my videos on empathy and change.
In my opinion, the best resource you can give troubled youth, especially young men, is a male role model. I'm a teacher at a middle school and we don't have many troubled youth, but like all schools, we have some who come from family situations that aren't that great. I notice most of those kids don't have a positive male figure in their life. Either their father is absent, in jail or is just not involved in their child's life.
It's damaging for every kid, because they NEED that father figure in their life. Unfortunately, we don't have enough men in our education system to act as role models for these kids.
Amen ...i agree
I'm working on starting my own program to help these children and felons who got in trouble that want to be a good influence and make a living by being a guide and a good role model from experience of been there done that now this is what you can do to become successful. I want to be the influence that encourages good behavior and educates the youth about school opportunities. I want to encourage the youth the make the right decisions and stay out of trouble and allow them to be influences that guide people away from a life of crime or making dumb decisions.
A good father figure can make all the difference in a child’s life. It’s a ripple effect.
This is beautiful! I'm so inspired.
these are all fantastic!
I have a soft spot for at risk kids
Me in the hell too
