Foundations & Self-Awareness of Emotional Development

This workshop is the 2nd in a new series.

Prerequisite
OST staff must take, or be registered to take, APOST's "Essentials of an SEL Framework" before taking this workshop.

As adults, our ability to support young people in identifying and managing their emotions starts with our ability to do the same.

In this experiential workshop, participants will deepen their understanding of how people interpret and feel emotions; how they personally experience hot buttons and emotional activation; as well as explore self-regulation. Time will be spent considering the ways our own emotional self-awareness can influence our work with young people, and identifying techniques for modeling empathy and emotion management in programming.

New!
This training is a new 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 Youth Program Quality.

Registration Details

This workshop is limited to 15 participants.

We will have a waiting list that we'll use to both fill spots that open up and also help plan our future workshop topic schedule.

Each participant will be provided with an Foundations & Self-Awareness of Emotional Development guidebook to use during the training and keep. They will also receive a certificate of completion via email after the workshop.
