Capacity Building for Children
10-Week Social and Emotional Course
Capacity Building is a 10-week program that walks alongside our children. This program is designed to support educators to deliver social and emotional learning in their own spaces – the classroom and the wider school. It grew from seeing the real, everyday challenges that students, families, educators, and communities face. For example: How do children learn to speak to each other in a respectful and safe way? How do they learn to approach an adult without fear? Where do they go when an adult doesn’t believe their story? After 20 years of working alongside many phenomenal educators, I have brought my knowledge and theory together to create a program that helps children discover who they are and what their purpose is. We often hear about resilience. Yet, as we create new ideas and programs, it can be easy to lose sight of the simple, fundamental things children need in an ever-changing world. Reaching out and asking for help can feel very hard. Many of us have worked in spaces with programs aimed at understanding children and youth, or helping families to become healthier and thrive. But these programs are not always followed through. I believe that, as a community, we each hold strengths that can support a healthier child, a healthier family, and a healthier community.
