Social-Emotional Skills Training
We provide a comprehensive curriculum of Social-Emotional Skills Training in a small group format. Through play-based activities, scenarios, social stories, and role-playing, children and adolescents will acquire essential cognitive, emotional, and behavioural skills to navigate day-to-day challenges and lead fulfilling lives.
Good Listener
Initially, our groups will focus on developing strong listening skills. Children and adolescents will be guided in respecting the current speaker, patiently waiting for their turn, actively listening to others, and celebrating each other's diversity.
Self-esteem
We emphasise the importance of self-appreciation and valuing one's abilities. Participants will learn to recognise and address common cognitive biases, as well as how to offer positive affirmations for their behaviour and accomplishments.
Empathy
Our program will also teach children and adolescents how to recognise and empathise with others' feelings and emotional states. They will learn to step into someone else's shoes to gain a deeper understanding of those around them.
Mindfulness
In an era dominated by multitasking and short attention spans, our groups will learn the art of mindfulness. We will guide our groups in staying fully present in the current moment, understanding their thoughts and emotions, and ultimately fully participate in their lives.
Problem-Solving
Young people frequently encounter challenges in their daily lives, schoolwork, relationships, friendships, and aims. We will teach effective problem-solving skills that will empower them to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.
Assertiveness
Our young participants will gain the ability to stand up for themselves and effectively address situations such as bullying and toxicity. Additionally, they'll learn how to take constructive action when they witness someone else experiencing bullying.
