Teens face challenges as they transition into adulthood including drugs, relationship issues, peer pressure and decision-making. At this stage they are discovering who they are and there is not a lot of interventions to assist them. Few teens and youth intervention workers understand Emotional Intelligence and how it can be useful for a teen’s success in life. This two day training course will inform, engage and challenge teens to understand their emotions and how they impact on their behaviour. In this course youth will learn how to:
• Understand themselves
• Set Goals
