Connect2Self
Emotions are complex processes that involve both the brain and the body. Thoughts are often confused with emotions, but the latter is more instinctive and associated with action tendencies, such as fight or flight.
Emotion regulation skills involve recognizing, understanding, and managing emotions. We also teach distress tolerance skills and self-care or prevention skills to help children better understand themselves and their emotions.
Connect2Family
We help families learn to connect by teaching good communication skills when spending time together to ensure positive experiences, as well as the ability to respond to high emotions and resistance.
We also help build interpersonal skills to help families create a positive and supportive environment. We teach families how to identify any extended family support that may be available, as well as how to practice routine and self-care skills.
Connect2Community
We teach children and families how to make positive social connections and have satisfying relationships. We help kids develop interpersonal skills, teamwork skills, and skills for initiating and maintaining positive peer relationships at school.
To continue to develop these skills, kids need to engage in activities that bring joy and satisfaction. This could include participating in extracurricular activities, developing hobbies, or finding ways to give back to the community. All of these activities can help to build confidence, foster meaningful relationships, and create a positive and supportive environment in school.
