CONTINUING WORKSHOPS

Staying Well: An emotional health workshop for teens

Four in 10 teenagers report they feel “persistently sad or hopeless,” according to a recent CDC survey. Our workshop series for teens can help young people struggling with these kinds of feelings.

The online workshops are geared toward helping teens understand the causes and consequences of emotions. Participants will learn how to turn off self-judgement, manage relationships better and regulate their ups and downs—with the goal of finding more meaning and purpose in life.

To participate, all you need is an internet connection to Zoom, paper and pencil and an open mind. All sessions are free. Click here to register.

Saturday, April 1 at 2 p.m. — Give yourself permission to feel

Saturday, April 8 at 2 p.m. — Emotional Intelligence vs. Emotional Judging

Saturday, April 15 at 2 p.m. — Practical Coping

Saturday, April 22 at 2 p.m. — Moving Forward

 

Creative Coping: an art-based workshop for kids and parents

 BACK AGAIN FOR March – April 2023! 

Four Wednesday evening sessions from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. 

It takes time for children to develop emotional intelligence—the ability to perceive, understand and manage emotions. Parents can play a key role in this development. These four online workshops pave the way by involving family members in creative art projects centered around identity, self-awareness and emotional expression. The workshops are led by clinical mental health counselor Zeinab Moussa, who has children of her own and loves to get families talking, especially while making art! To participate, all you need is an internet connection to Zoom and some white paper, scissors and crayons, markers, or pen/pencil.
