Social Emotional Learning is more than an isolated lesson on skills, attitudes and knowledge essential for wellbeing. SEL is a path to belonging. The implementation of SEL programming is an ongoing process that can be embedded into the school day or taught in group and classroom lessons.
In this workshop series, participants are strategically guided to connect in both small and large groups to explore experiences that support the underpinnings of a healthy school climate.
The activities, techniques, and exercises participants learn can be easily introduced to begin the SEL journey or incorporated into an existing SEL repertoire.

Topics
The five primary workshop modules are: Relationship Skills, Self-awareness, Self-management, Social awareness, and Responsible decision-making.
We also offer a workshop called Stressbusters packed with tools, techniques and strategies to regulate emotions, calm the nervous system, and help teachers guide students to acceptance, equilibrium, and hope.
In addition to being a professional development workshop, our facilitators also deliver Stressbusters directly to small and large student groups. Stressbusters is a popular choice for our parent groups.
We hand tailor each workshop to the needs of the group and provide a follow up handout with the exercises, techniques, and resouces.
We have witnessed the transformative power of SEL for both students and professionals over our combined 60 years of experience in the education system. Compassionate relating can be cultivated through social emotional learning and the benefits ripple out from students and teachers to the greater community.
