About

Join us for a focused & practical workshop designed to equip educators with essential skills in validation & emotion regulation at this collaborative effort from Komodo Wellbeing & Mesaieed International School

Helping students navigate their emotions is key to fostering a supportive learning atmosphere. This session will move beyond theory, providing strategies you can implement immediately to help students feel seen, heard, & better equipped to manage their feelings. Learn how to de-escalate emotional moments, build strong student-teacher relationships, & create a more resilient & focused classroom.

This is a FREE workshop for attendees!

Designed exclusively for senior leadership, educators & pastoral care leaders, this event is a practical, conversation & presentation-led workshop centred around best practice approaches to managing student wellbeing.
