Social Stencil is not a traditional “social skills” program. Instead of teaching a set of ‘ideal’ behaviours, the program focuses on respect, inclusion, and understanding differences. Facilitators model inclusive language and create a safe, affirming space where children can explore emotions, friendship concepts and strategies for managing conflict.

Children will learn about:

• Listening styles and building meaningful connections

• Exploring the wide range of human emotions and how they overlap

• The Science of Anger – what happens in the body, and what next?

• Friendship concepts, styles and variations

• Working in groups respectfully and effectively

• Understanding why conflict happens

• Strategies for managing real-life problems with others
