Description
Adults as well as youth need to be able to identify their emotions. One way to equip staff is to help them become more aware of their own emotions. Emotional Intelligence (sometimes referred to as EQ) is defined as the ability to be aware of, understand, and manage one’s emotions. This quick self-assessment can help adults feel grounded in some of the language we use in supporting SEL with youth.
