Social Emotional Learning & Youth Mental Health

REGISTER HERE
Tuesday, May 12th, 10-3
At this in-person workshop, you’ll gain valuable insights into how SEL can help students develop skills essential for success in school, career, and life. At the heart of this training is the understanding that building strong, supportive relationships with students is key to promoting their social and emotional well-being. Our trainer will provide you with a framework for understanding SEL and share practical suggestions for implementing SEL practices in out-of-school-time (OST) settings. By focusing on our own social and emotional skills, we can model and support SEL growth in young people, helping them become thriving and engaged adults. In addition, we will explore the possibilities that staff and mentors may face when navigating today’s young people’s mental health challenges. Some young people are at greater risk of mental health conditions due to their living conditions, stigma, discrimination or exclusion, or lack of access to quality support and services. A supportive adult presence – that allows for a shared connection and vulnerability – contributes to positive growth and adaptation. Join us for an enriching learning opportunity to share and strengthen your skills.
