Mentor Training Series: Emotion Coaching Strategies for Mentors

Sometimes folks have a natural ability to connect with young people’s feelings and soothe them. Luckily, this is also a skill we can build! Have you noticed that as we age, we tend to be less emotionally expressive, and sometimes dismissive of displays of emotion from youth? If you’re looking for another strategy to add to your toolbox for building strong mentoring relationships, join us for this session on emotion coaching: a four-part skill to validate, empathize, and problem solve with youth, leading them to feel better supported and heard by the adults in their lives. The target audience for this special evening session is mentors! However, whether you mentor, run an after school program, train volunteers, or care for any young people in your life, here is one more research-based strategy for making connections to support YOU in your impactful work.
