The period of adolescence is the time to search for one’s identity and transition from childhood to maturity. Due to the many upheavals that their foster children face during this period, caregivers are often unsure of how to deal with them as it takes special skills to guide teenagers.

YKAA provides counseling training for the WDEP (Want – Do – Evaluation – Planning) technique that caregivers can use with their children. The technique focuses on helping teenagers identify their goals, plan for success, evaluate their actions and deal with failure. WDEP is simple and aims to expand the teenager’s mind while promoting self-awareness.
