By helping us to be present to our own experience, the skills taught by SILA Skills enable us to recognize our emotions and teach us to manage them and to communicate in a way that facilitates effective and meaningful relationships with others.  I have found these skills to be helpful for all individuals and critical for those working in especially stressful environments, including first responders, frontline workers, and teachers, to help cope effectively with day-to-day challenges and when the stress of life threatens to become overwhelming.

The skills taught in this workshop can have a transformative effect in the classroom. Teachers using these skills will be able to build better relationships with their students, improve coping skills and create a supportive, validating and respectful environment. We have seen the successful implementation of DBT skills in classrooms throughout the world and the SILA Skills Group is at the helm of the new movement in using a more integrative and holistic approach to education.
