Story Catcher�Silent Read

  • I have read the story of a tribe in southern Africa called the Babemba in which a person doing something wrong, something that destroys this delicate social net, brings all the work in the village to a halt.  

​

  • The people gather around the "offender," and one by one they begin to recite everything he has done right in his life: every good deed, thoughtful behavior, act of social responsibility. These things have to be true about the person, and spoken honestly, but the time-honored consequence of misbehavior is to appreciate that person back into the better part of himself.

​

  • The person is given the chance to remember who he is and why he is important to the life of the village. 

​

  • from Story Catcher, by Christina Baldwin

Strengths & Successes

Share the strengths at every meeting.

It’s a great way to start the meeting.

People generally never get tired of hearing their strengths.

Imagine what it would be like for the family and the youth to hear this repeatedly.

All your action plans need to be connected to these strengths, so we need to keep them at the forefront of people’s minds.

Before sharing the strengths, you've identified from the coffee chat, let participants know that after you share, you will invite them to contribute any additional strengths they have observed.

59 of 71

Introductions & Sign-In Sheet

    • Make sure people understand you are there to facilitate
      • First team meeting and any time you have new members make sure to explain Wrap
      • Ensure you have someone else ready to take the notes

Introduce yourself & Send Sign-In Sheet Around

    • It can be helpful to have them share how they know the youth/family
    • Consider having them share something they like/enjoy about the youth (or some other activity)
