Through this intervention we aim to build motivation, social awareness, empathy and self-regulation of target pupils, thereby improving their responses to social situations and ability to support one another.

Description:
The Assistant Psychologist will meet with the group of pupils on a weekly basis for 1 hour to cover the following:
- Raising motivation and building co-operative skills; icebreaker and strengths building activities
- Developing social awareness; identifying the qualities of a good listener and introducing ‘empathy’ through role play
- Developing social skills and empathy; being able to reflect back and use open questions to support others
- Developing problem solving around conflict/challenging situations; exploring thoughts, feelings and behaviours associated with conflict
- Developing self-regulation strategies for managing conflict across contexts; what can I do to help? What can I do to help others?
