To some people, youth counselling is just a fancy buzz word. For those who have deep enough insight, it’s a crucial aspect of keeping our society stable. After all, how are we to progress if we don’t take care of the youth?
Here is a fun fact; a lot of youth act out because nobody is paying attention to them. Now, there are those who are beyond the ordinary efforts. It’s sad but you can’t help everyone. However, a good amount of youth can be helped by people who care.
Let’s face it, it’s hard for a lot of people today. Parents are busy and schools are scared to take a stance. The authorities are worried about the next election. The youth are looking for leadership but… who is there to fill that gap?
Also, if you can help someone at this early stage, you prevent a lot of potential issues in the future. You’ll be surprised how much you can accomplish just by listening to someone. Many people turn around just because they feel understood – not judged. This brings you to an important decision.
How are you looking at this issue? Are you aware that it’s a two way street? Working with the youth means facing your own demons. It forces you to accept your own flaws. That way, you won’t judge those you’re working with. You will have an open mind. More importantly, you will have the necessary force and energy to create change. Why? Because, you’ve created that change in yourself first.
Youth counselling is a great career path. You’ll be serving the society and protecting the lives of our future leaders. You will be at the front of the fight for a better world. How powerful is that?
So, you need to look deep into yourself. Why do you think this is right for you? Think back to when you were younger. What kind of mentor do you wish you had? These answers will help you as embark on this journey. Because, make not mistake, this is a journey. You will see things and hear things that many people can only imagine. Except, of course, those who live to tell the stories.
As your next step, find out what you need to get started. Get in touch and ask about how you can begin youth counselling. This is a life changing decision. Congratulations on having the courage to make a difference!
