stepping stones - mya project (2010)
Trainee: Carrie Gardner (Pediatric Resident)
CHPT Site: Rancho Cordova Children, Youth & Families Collaborative
Synopsis: Carrie Gardner created a series of lessons to help students develop short and long term goals. Her activities were inspired by What Do You Really Want? by Beverly K. Bachel. The project was driven by the idea that helping youth to reflect on their dreams and values to create goals will lead to a positive vision of their future that will guide them to make healthy choices.
In October 2010, she presented these lessons to a group of students from Kittyhawk Mather Youth Academy in four sessions over the course of two weeks. They reflected on their strengths. inspirations, values, and dreams. The students then thought about their short term goals and created a goal ladder with these goals. While reflecting on these goals, the students were then able to create long term goals for themselves. They represented their long term goals on stepping stones, which they painted and displayed near the school.
