Belonging fulfills the Life Model Study Guide requirement for Track I of the THRIVE – Changing My Generation Conference training. Because the THRIVE training can be demanding at times, the more you prepare the better your experience will be. Belonging prepares you for the six days of interactive exercises and 19 skill training THRIVE offers. It is for this reason we require you to either participate in or lead a Belonging or Life Model study group before attending Track I.
