November 12 Lecture
Princeton Common Ground (PCG) is proud to host Dr. Marc Brackett, founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and Professor in the Child Study Center of Yale University. Brackett is the lead developer of RULER, an evidence-based approach to social and emotional learning that has been adopted by nearly 2,000 pre-K through high schools across the United States and in other countries. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL).
Marc will be discussing his book, “Permission to Feel: Unlocking the Power of Emotions to Help Our Kids, Ourselves, and Our Society Thrive.” Supported by compelling research and powerful stories, Brackett outlines a blueprint for understanding emotions and using them wisely so that they help, rather than hinder, success and well-being.
With a fall semester underway unlike any other, the need to keep physical distance makes social emotional connectedness all the more important, especially for children and teens. Marc will be sharing insights from his work and discuss why self-compassion and emotion regulation are key to coping with COVID-19.
