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.

May Mentor Circle: Social and Emotional Skills for Mentors
Join us for a brand new offering from Mass Mentoring Partnership: Mentor Circles will run every third Thursday evening of most months (dates will be adjusted if holidays interfere.) Mentor Circles are virtual, off-hours opportunities to connect with other mentors, build knowledge, and practice skills related to being the best mentor you can be. Topics will vary. You are welcome as often as you can join us.
Social and emotional skills are important as ever in our relationships. Mentoring relationships can carry a special connection that may leave some mentors wondering how to socially and emotionally connect with their mentee. Join us to explore why understanding our own skills of self-awareness, self-management, relationship building, and critical thinking can support us in our efforts toward being a great mentor.
