Emotional Social Intelligence: Confidence and Connection for Success

Adolescence is an exciting time. So much is changing internally, externally, with others, priorities, pressures of school, and what lies ahead. 

With the growth of social media platforms, these challenges take new forms while the gap between younger and older generations expands. Challenges also bring possibility! Current research indicates that Social Emotional Learning (SEL) improves academic performance by 11%, along with self-confidence levels, the ability to set appropriate goals, make informed decisions, resolve conflicts, and manage emotions, including stress and anxiety.
