How we can learn to be more kind to each other and to ourselves? This comes not just from wanting to be kind, but knowing how. Principally, this involves helping students increase their awareness of their own emotional lives and those of others. If students are able to understand others’ emotions and behaviors in context, they will be able to empathize with others better. This in turn can lead to feeling more connected with others, and thus less isolated and lonely. Moreover, the ability to understand others better and cultivate a caring attitude towards others parallels the same process of understanding and caring for themselves better. Join us this week to learn all about it!
