Ometz school workshops are a powerful tool to help children and teens navigate their preschool, elementary and high school years. We also offer workshops for teachers, school personnel and parents. Professionals facilitate a variety of workshops with the goal of students and adults alike becoming more social, empathic, and safe.
Managing stress and anxiety
R.I.D.E.S. the Wave program is a classroom-based stress management program for students, developed by experts in school mental health at Ometz. Sessions cover developmentally appropriate information related to stress and provide concrete strategies to help with stress management.
Social skills
This program will help children develop pro-social behaviours through interactive activities and role modelling. Children will be encouraged to focus on the identification of feelings, the need for empathy and respect, strategies for self-regulation and the importance of expressive communication skills to create strong relationships. Dealing with conflicts in a healthy manner while creating an awareness and tolerance of diversity will be discussed.
