Building Emotionally
Resilient Youth

Why Ambassadors?

Trauma, in all its forms, is the most significant problem facing our school system and students. Expressed as unresolved hurt and pain, trauma impedes students’ ability to perform to their optimal capabilities and often leads to destructive behaviors. Recent studies show that the COVID pandemic has exacerbated the situation. The tragedy is the loss of unrealized human potential that will never benefit our families, society, or the world.

He introduces the Ambassadors of Compassion Life Skills program as a way to prepare individuals to deal with life transitions and to master the set of mental and emotional skills needed to recover from disruption and thrive.

What Is The Ambassadors Journey?

Practice is Everything

Emotional Resilience isn’t a trait you are born with. It is a learned skill that improves with practice and is mastered over time. It is the ability to adapt to stressful situations or crises. Highly resilient individuals adapt to adversity with minimal long-term negative effects. A lack of emotional resilience leads to anxiety, depression, and long-term emotional, physical, and mental health issues.

“Emotional resilience and connectedness are protective factors for suicide prevention and the promotion of positive behaviors.”

Our Learning Model

The Ambassadors Emotional Resilience Learning Model includes hands-on learning, interacting with peers with empathy and accountability, and putting into practice concepts, principles, and insights which help students overcome emotional obstacles. It helps students find their voice and provides a safe space to uncover and process their real-life issues. The confidence gained during the program also shapes students’ character and helps them be a positive influence on others in their school and community.
