SUMMARY:Using Emotional Intelligence to Build Stronger Connections
DESCRIPTION:Why do some people struggle to build and maintain strong relationships\, even when they are knowledgeable and skilled? Often\, the challenge isn’t a lack of intelligence or expertise. It’s the ability to navigate emotions\, both their own and others’. When emotions aren’t managed effectively\, misunderstandings can arise\, trust can erode\, and connections\, whether at work or in the community\, can weaken. \nIn this session\, you will develop a deeper understanding of emotional intelligence\, reflect on your own emotional strengths and challenges\, and learn practical strategies for managing emotions effectively. By enhancing your ability to navigate emotions\, both yours and others’\, you will be better equipped to cultivate deeper\, more meaningful relationships at work and in your community. \nThis event is part of the Ascend Community Workshop series. Seats are limited\, and pre-registration is required. Refreshments will be available. \nRegister here;  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/using-emotional-intelligence-to-build-stronger-connections-tickets-1291358380679?aff=odcleoeventsincollection \n

We will explore youth experiences of queerphobias\, risk and protective factors and related statistics\, and the long term impacts of growing up queer. We will discuss ways adults can provide these protective factors and reduce these risks\, and explore best practices for everything from policies to day-to-day interactions. This training includes an overview of relevant federal and Connecticut anti-discrimination laws. \nQ Plus works to create more youth accessible spaces\, uplift youth voices\, and empower queer youth. Their overall goal is to create space for queer youth to be authentically and entirely themselves. \nThis event is part of the Ascend Community Workshop series.
