Calm, Cool, & Connected: Helping Students Make Thoughtful Choices

Big emotions can lead students to reactive and impulsive decisions that might not support their well-being. By utilizing a thoughtful decision-making process, students can learn to slow down and become inspired to make intentional choices that consider the value of both feelings and reasoning. Participants will prepare to guide students in a personalized decision-making process that includes responding versus reacting, exercising emotional regulation, and leaning into cognitive connections. With practice, these skills can enhance a student’s ability to make healthy and helpful decisions.
