私の問題の本当の大きさ

The ability to differentiate what problems are big ones and which ones are little, is an important skill for young people to acquire. Often times young people end up dealing with their problems in "bigger ways" than they need to. This then may impede their abilities to make positive choices. 

Through fun, engaging, and interactive activities, learners will focus on identifying some common problems young people may experience, various ways in which we can deal with them, and if needed, some examples of positive coping strategies that may be used. By exploring the problem versus reaction size, learners will focus on the important skill of recognizing when a big reaction is suitable, and when a small reaction is expected, and what each may look like.

The teacher will facilitate ongoing dialogue to help learners understand the concepts being taught. Learner to learner interaction is encouraged as various viewpoints and experiences assist in the learning process. Learners do not need any previous skills or experience to participate in this class.

*Please note this is not a support or therapy group, this is a skill-acquiring class to help learners recognize common problems versus reaction size and employ positive techniques when needed.
