Every day, we experience a range of feelings and emotions. We feel joy and excitement, frustration, and stress, and often a mix of many emotions at once. Our ability to recognize those feelings, emotions, and situations (self-awareness) is essential because that understanding better equips us to manage and shape what we experience (self-management.)
In this session, we are going to gain a deeper understanding of the intricate connection between the SEL competencies of self-awareness and self-management; how our brains interpret, develop patterns, and respond to situations; and explore practical and helpful strategies that guide us towards increasing wellness, efficacy, and fulfillment.

We make countless decisions every day - some in the blink of an eye, others after careful thought. The way they make these decisions determines our health, safety, happiness, and success, as well as our relationships with the people around us and our community.
Responsible decision-making means pausing to consider options, thinking through consequences, and choosing paths that are caring, constructive, and aligned with our values. These decisions, big and small, also impact how we create and sustain relationships how we communicate, collaborate, and connect with the people.
In this session, we are going to delve into the SEL competencies of responsible decision-making and relationship skills; analyze how our decision-making process evolves over time; and experience strategies that strengthen communication skills, increase compassion and empathy, and foster a sense of community.

Consider the number of people we interact with every day. Some days it may feel like not very many and on other days possibly too many to count. Understanding how people think, feel, and experience the world helps build empathy, compassion, and meaningful connections.
The SEL competency of social awareness is the ability to recognize the feelings, perspectives, and backgrounds of others. It helps us to widen our perspectives, build trust, work productively, and realize that we are part of and have the capacity to contribute to something bigger.
In this session, we are going to take a closer look at social awareness; how it is the foundation for creating caring, supportive, and safe communities; and explore strategies that help us develop lifelong skills to understanding and appreciating the diverse mosaic we create together.
