This course introduces fundamental concepts and practices in supporting social emotional skills and wellness for children, youth and adults across abilities. Students will learn how supporting social emotional skills impacts short and long-term quality of life outcomes for themselves and those they support. Through a process of reflection and self-exploration, students will develop an understanding of how past traumas, experiences, strengths and individual challenges impact our ability to support others. Using a trauma-informed lens, practitioners will use a strength-based approach to encourage the development of self-agency and other essential skills.
