Age 12-18; $300 per semester - Tuesdays 10:00-11:00

Step into a practical, encouraging class designed to help students (ages 12 and up) understand their own inner world—and build the skills to thrive with others. Using a student-friendly blend of cognitive-behavioral tools and a “systems” perspective (how families, friendships, groups, and culture shape us), learners will explore how thoughts, emotions, body signals, and behaviors work together to create their day-to-day experience. Each week, students will practice real-life strategies for emotional regulation, flexible thinking, and confident communication, while also learning how to navigate different social settings with empathy, boundaries, and self-respect.

Lessons include guided self-reflection, interactive activities, role-play scenarios, discussion, and simple take-home practices that can be used immediately at home, with friends, and in group environments. With humor, kindness, and “meet-you-where-you-are” teaching, students will build a personal toolkit for handling stress, conflict, misunderstandings, and social pressure—so they can show up more grounded, more connected, and more themselves.
