Compassionate Accountability: Supporting Self-Efficacy in Children’s Mental Healthcare is an engaging, interactive session designed to help caregivers and professionals strike the critical balance between empathy and responsibility. Participants will explore how building self-efficacy strengthens motivation, resilience, and long-term outcomes for children and adolescents—without minimizing real mental health challenges. Through practical frameworks, real-world case examples, and hands-on discussion, attendees will learn how to foster accountability with children rather than for them. This session equips attendees with concrete language, strategies, and confidence to support growth, autonomy, and resilience in the youth they serve.
