The class is structured as a continuous 12-week cycle where students can join at any time. 

Each week covers a specific topic, combining theoretical knowledge with practical strategies and personal reflection.

 The course restarts after week 12, allowing new students to join at any time. 

The teaching methods include a mix of lectures, workshops, hands-on practice, group discussions, role-playing, and homework assignments. Each week involves interactive activities to engage learners and facilitate the application of the techniques taught.

My teaching style is interactive, supportive, and practical. I focus on creating a safe and inclusive environment where students feel comfortable sharing their experiences and participating in activities. I use a variety of teaching methods to cater to different learning styles and ensure that the material is engaging and applicable to real-life situations.

Learners will have multiple opportunities to interact with me each week through various activities:

Lectures: Presenting core concepts and theories (interactive with Q&A sessions).
Workshops: Hands-on practice of techniques in pairs or small groups (high interaction).
Slides and Video Clips: Visual aids to reinforce learning points.
Group Discussions: Facilitated discussions to share experiences and insights (high interaction).
Case Study: Case study-based activities to practice techniques (high interaction).
Q&A Sessions: Opportunities to ask questions and receive personalized feedback.

These activities ensure that students have ample interaction with the instructor and peers, fostering a collaborative and supportive learning environment. 

This course is designed to be taught in a group format, course will be canceled if less than 3 learners are enrolled. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Learning Goals

Other Details

Parental Guidance
The intention of the class is not to elicit reports of personal experiences with mental health from learners. If the learner begins to share any personal mental health concerns I will kindly ask the learner to refrain from further discussion in front of the class and to continue the conversation with a trusted adult. If a learner ever shares something that is concerning, I will reach out to parents after class depending on the context of the information Note: Review Outschool's Community Standards before class to ensure that learners remember to keep personal information private.
