Emotion Coaching

*This workshop is part of a sequence which should be taken in this order:

1. Foundations & Self-Awareness of Emotional Development - January 15th and February 19th

Training Description

This training is a newer APOST offering, as it's part of the Social & Emotional Learning Youth Work Methods Workshops, a recently development series, from The Forum for Youth Investment | The Weikart Center for Program Quality.

Workshop Description:

By building knowledge of emotion coaching, and developing skills that teach young poeple to identify and safely manage their emotional experiences, youth workers can deepen the meaning of their work and promote positive skill building with them. In this interactive session, participants explore the ways our culture and personal histories can influence our understanding and interpretation of emotions; identify best practices for facilitating effective emotion coaching; and practice skills that support young people to accurately name and navigate their emotions. Additionally, participants will plan next steps for incorporating these concepts into their work with young people. This workshop requires you take FASA of Emotional Development first.
