What This Class Is All About

Mindfulness

The ability to observe and reflect on our own thoughts, feelings and actions without judgement, to begin in a neutral place, calm space from which to begin to solve problems.

Distress Tolerance

Learning to tolerate emotional pain, and accepting what we cannot control.

Emotional Regulation

Learning how to name ones own emotion, then how to manage it before it is untamable, with coping skills development and application to the emotions one can experience.

Interpersonal Effectiveness

Learning new ways to interact with authority figures and peers, promoting a feeling of inclusion and support vs. isolation and resentment.
