SEL Support for Holiday and Pandemic Blues

The holiday season isn't automatically a joyous time for everyone. This year with the situation of the pandemic, the holidays may dredge up sadness, difficult feelings and a sense of isolation or disappointment in our students, our colleagues, and ourselves. Right now every child has some level of trauma because of the coronavirus and needs extra support and compassion. Join Dr. Aliah MaJon for a workshop that provides an overview of Social and Emotional Learning [SEL] content which teaches us that relationship is key. Learn the impact of “Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)”, the ACE score, and the fundamentals of trauma. Walk away with new clarity for addressing the ‘holiday blues’ and three promising strategies to support students in inventing new ways of having fun and being spontaneous. The session will also make space for everyone to feel seen and heard.

“Trauma gives us an opportunity to explore new things”- Dr. Aliah MaJon
