Affirming YOUth Foundation, Inc., has partnered with Liberty City Elementary School to teach students, parents, and teachers Social Emotional Learning skills.
Students bring emotions to the classroom from life outside of school. They might be dealing with a stressful situation at home like a parent losing his or her job, or maybe something more momentary like an argument with a friend. Teachers can see when something is off with their students from the moment they enter the classroom and know that students may need support in cooling off or letting go of the emotion before they can focus on academic content.
Affirming YOUth Foundation, Inc., will partner with teachers and host student and parent workshops about positive ways to encourage others to display empathy or solve conflicts.
