🏫Teens learn a lot of things in school, but they may feel lost when having to navigate challenging communication contexts, whether it is dealing with a problem with a friend, speaking to an authority figure, solving a conflict with a sibling, or any other challenges that present themselves. 🤔 😖Everyday we must communicate, but with little guidance on how to do it properly, teens may feel lost or frustrated. 🫤 😎 Through fun activities, games, and creative exercises, participants will develop the foundational tools to navigate various communication contexts, handle interactions with peers, adults, authority figures, and siblings, solve problems, manage conflicts, boost self-assurance, and decode nonverbal cues.
