'You Good? You Good!' online course

The Jade Speaks Up Educational Trust provides schools and communities with a strengths-based, trauma-informed and experiential learning approach to responding to emotions and behaviours stemming from family violence. Teachers are equipped with the skills to develop children's emotional literacy, providing strategies and tools to help primary and intermediate-aged students recognise and manage situations that stem from family violence, anxiety and stress.

The Trust will be holding an full-day online offering of their 'You Good? You Good!' on 22 August, and bookings are open now. This course comes with an e-manual of lesson plans and links to associated videos and clips to broaden engagement.

'E Pai Ana Koe? E Pai Ana!/You Good? You Good!' helps teachers equip their students with strategies to understand and manage stress and anxiety, incorporating Te Ao Māori, neuroscience and embodied learning activities. Teachers will be shown how to further develop their students’ self awareness and emotional literacy, and be able to offer more support to students when their behaviour signals that difficult emotions are rising.

Participants will learn:

• Insights into language patterns to improve behaviour, learning and communication.
• Explanations of the structure of the brain and a neuroscience context for understanding student behaviour.
• Practical approaches to decrease student stress and anxiety helping students shift to a calmer, more settled frame-of-mind in times of distress.
• Small group mahi and experiential activities to provide ākonga with tools for their mental health and wellbeing.

The 'E Pai Ana Koe? E Pai Ana!/You Good? You Good!' online course will be held on Thursday 22 August, 9am–2:30pm.

We also offer, upon request, one additional group supervision/coaching session to review experiences of implementing the material.
