In this workshop, you will learn self-compassion tools that can be taught to teens to help them support themselves through challenging times. Through acquiring these vital coping skills, teens learn how to be less self-critical and how to be their own inner coach or own best friend. Studies show that teens who learn how to be more self-compassionate report lower stress, anxiety, and depression – and even less suicidal thinking. An overview of this research will be presented in the workshop. The workshop will be fun and interactive – you will learn practical self-compassion skills by engaging in activities and exercises. Finally, you will discover how to implement the self-compassion skills you have learned with the teens in your life.
Who can benefit from this workshop? Parents, educators, social workers, coaches, counselors, therapists, or anyone who works with teens. CE credits are available, see below for more information.
