Youth Risk-Taking Behavior: Shifting the Mindset Webinar – Unlimited Access DVD

Description

Did you know?

Each year 4.3 million youths 14 and younger suffer unintentional injuries requiring hospital treatment.
1 in 10 teens in high school drink and drive
81% of students rarely or never wear a bicycle helmet.
42% of students text while driving.

Todays students face a silent epidemic. Risk-taking behaviors, critical errors and lapses in judgment cause millions of unintentional injuries each year in North America, resulting in sometimes grueling pain for students and families, as well as lost classroom time.’ In some cases, these injuries permanently alter students lives. And 7000 to 8000 times each year these injuries prove fatal about one per hour.

We have a responsibility to our students to make sure they have the skills necessary to assess risk and reduce unintentional injuries.
In this thought-provoking 90-minute webinar, Mike Shaw will highlight how behavior-based skills such as greater awareness, attention and intention can reduce injuries, as well as other types of errors including academic errors.
Attendees will gain key insights and lessons learned on understanding risk and knowing personal limitations from Mikes ski coaching and performance background. He will share unique perspectives on risk vs. reward, and what dangerous sports and death-defying stunts have to do with the average students safety and performance. Attendees will walk away with fresh insights and practicable techniques for reducing risk and errors.
Research has shown that mental states like rushing, frustration, fatigue and complacency, which most students find themselves in almost every day, cause or contribute to critical errors. These critical errors often put a student in the path of a hazard. Mr. Shaw will explain how this state-to-error risk pattern is responsible for up to 95% of student injuries, and will present skills that students and educators — can use to improve safety and reduce critical errors in school and all facets of their lives. Topics to be covered include:

Correlations between danger, mindset and student injuries
The effects of complacency on perception of risk
Decision-making and student safety
Rushing, frustration, fatigue and complacency and the critical errors students make.
Personal risk pyramid: Creating a framework that looks at skill improvement rather than luck.
