Spikey – The O.G.
Spikey has been with us since the start of How to Talk to Porcupines. Representing all prickly personalities, Spikey’s quills go up when Spikey feels threatened, challenged, or has an unmet need.
But Spikey is so cute, it’s hard to be flustered for long. And with our programming, coaching, and resources, you can feel confident you’ll know how to work with Spikey when quills appear.
How to Talk to Porcupines offers a powerful set of tools and practical solutions to the most important challenge for today’s youth workers – communication breakdowns with youth.
