CHamP Lab facilitated a workshop called Finding Your Voice at Home: Strategies for Talking with Parents.
This interactive workshop empowers youth to communicate with their parents effectively—especially during challenging or emotionally charged conversations. We will explore common barriers to parent–child communication. Youth will reflect on their own communication styles and learn practical communication strategies, skills, and tips for expressing needs and navigating disagreements without escalating conflict.
Through guided discussions, real-life scenarios, and hands-on activities, youth will practice communication skills that strengthen mutual understanding at home. The workshop emphasizes youth agency and leadership, highlighting how effective communication within families can build confidence, resilience, and problem-solving skills. Youth will leave with strategies and skills they can apply to foster healthier, more constructive conversations with their parents and others beyond the home.
