Are you as (or more) worried about your staff as the kids you serve?
At the end of the day do you feel like a therapist instead of a program director?
Do you wonder how to “incentivize” your staff to do their job?
Are you surprised or frustrated by things your staff struggle to handle?
How to Strengthen Resilience and Mental Health in Your Staff and Campers/Students
Dr. G’s Interactive On-demand Staff Training is ready for you!
You are one step closer to the resilient, engaged staff you and your campers and students need!
This is staff training you need to solve the mental health obstacles you face each year.
Your staff are amazing humans, but they are struggling. Their mental health is deteriorating, their stamina is not as good as it could be and they are looking to you for help to succeed. Your campers and students are also having a rough go. Some of them need extra social and emotional support, some need skills to be more resilient and they all want help from your staff.
They need skills, and they need them from an outside, expert voice (because our brains open to new ideas better when they come from someone we respect but don’t know well). You need new vocabulary and activities for them to do and for your leadership team to refer back to through the summer in order to decrease overwhelm and move everyone’s focus towards your program mission.
This staff training is created and presented by Dr. G, family physician and Resilience and Youth Development Expert. Learn more about Dr. G here.

What to Expect from Dr. G’s Interactive On-Demand Staff Training
The best time to start teaching your staff resilience was in kindergarten, the second best time is right now!
These skills can begin now and these ideas will strengthen your culture and success this summer. And these ideas and skills require repetition and layering, which is why this is a three year program.
Dr. G on video speaking directly to your staff delivering the brain science behind their own experiences of stress and the evidence-based strategies they can utilize to build their own mental health and resilience as well as that of the kids they serve.
Activities (large group, small group and individual) to learn, apply and practice these ideas in order to build their resilience as we go (and also have fun!) – enough activities to never repeat in the three years of the program.
Everything You Need – Facilitator’s Guide, Participant Workbooks, Staff Training Plan and a supplies list and instructions for each activity to support the leader you choose to guide this training.
Three Years of Program Dr. G will update this content yearly to reflect best practices and staff needs and provide activities so that no year is a replica of the year before. This iteration and repetition will build sustainable behavior.
“Dr. G’s program allowed us to get our staff thinking and collaborating with one another on topics that are relevant in their day to day lives and would be relevant when working with campers and their peers in a camp setting. Dr. G has a way of presenting information to participants in an informative, relevant and practical way where you truly feel like you can utilize and apply everything that is discussed. Dr. G makes this program user friendly to the facilitator by providing a comprehensive guide and list of everything that will be needed in order to run the program successfully. Having the ability to welcome Dr. G to your training in an on-demand format is invaluable. I cannot recommend this program enough!”
Colby Wyckoff
Director of Camp at Mandell JCC
“Dr. G, has been able to motivate and engage our YMCA Day Camp Staff to new heights this summer. She started our summer with an amazing virtual presentation to over 100 staff of all ages and years experience, each taking something away. We then followed up with the staff over conversations with her hands content and activities. She has made this one of our best summers yet.”
Todd Brinkman
Executive Director of YMCA Camp Kern
“As the national conference program chair for the ACA for many years, I know that Dr. G. is one of our most well-received speakers—her evaluations from attendees are always outstanding, and her classes are so popular that it is hard to find meeting rooms large enough for her programs. Dr. Gilboa’s research and information is cutting edge and her style is lively and personable. Members of the American Camp Association are better camp directors and youth workers because of the information and insight that Deborah has shared with us. I highly recommend Dr. Gilboa as a speaker for any organization. She is incredibly easy to work with and will consistently exceed your expectations.”
