We truly believe that more than half of our problems would not be as punishing an ordeal if we were emotionally educated at school. Self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-regulation are the pillars we use as guiding principles to develop a resilient and growth mentality in ourselves, our students and our teams. Following are some of the courses that we run as part of essential emotional education for adults, adolescents and children alike.
- What are emotions, why should we learn about them? What is the difference between emotions and feelings?
- Depression 101: What is the nature of depression and how can we differentiate it from other forms of sadness?
- Anxiety 101: What is the nature of anxiety and how can we differentiate it from common worrying?
- Empathy and Sympathy: our two superpowers. What can we do to increase our levels of empathy and sympathy? And how to prevent burnouts?
- Self Awareness and Self Acceptance: What do we do to learn more about ourselves and develop acceptance for who we are?
- Self-regulation and Meaningful Social Engagement: How do we regulate ourselves efficiently in challenging circumstances and engage with others in a meaningful and fulfilling manner?
- Responsible Decision-Making Skills: How do we make meaningful decisions when we are swayed by so many factors in so many directions?
- Mental Health First Aid: What do we do when we experience day to day common emotional injuries?
- Difference between Mental Illness and Mental Health?
- What are Psychotherapy and Counselling and when do we need them?
We are the stories we tell, and we are the stories
we are told.
