The Empathetic You (6hr)

Empathy isn’t something that comes naturally, it’s an acquired skill that takes practice. This interactive course is a crash course in putting yourself in the shoes of others to help develop the workers empathy skill.

Trauma Informed Parenting (12 hr)

They say parenting doesn’t come with a handbook, but at TGS we believe it should. Let’s face it, the pamphlets and instructions given to parents at birth are trashed as soon as parent’s get home with their newborn (sometimes those pamphlets don’t leave the hospital). T.I.P aims to equip parents with the tools necessary to recognize and deal with the real burden to parenting, TRAUMA. This two-day training takes parents on a journey from conception to understand in depth the impact and effects trauma has on children. Parents also learn ways to minimize it’s impact as well as to guide their children through trauma when there is no escaping it.

Youth Development Workshops

The G Society offers youth development workshops for students, ranging from early childhood to late teens. A minimum of 6 participants are required for youth workshops. A list of current workshop offerings and brief descriptions can be found below.

Mad Conflicted

This course in conflict resolution can be customized to meet the needs of preschool aged children through adolescence. This fun, interactive and hands on course teaches children about the role of conflict, how to recognize it and how to deal with it. Conflict is a healthy and natural occurrence, that is given a bad reputation. This course normalizes conflict and introduces it as a resource for growth rather than a negative occurrence that should be avoided.

Emotions Commotion

This workshop is ideal for young children, ages 3-10. Children expand their emotional intelligence and vocabulary by learning about different emotions and how they are expressed. Children learn the significance of emotions and ways to handle strong feelings and thoughts that follow. This course keeps children engaged through interactive activities and lessons.
