Interpersonal communication : Mindfulness

Project description
Assignment:

Step 1: Read the article and pay close attention to info discussing how Mindfulness helps people manage emotion, conflict and anxiety. Also, see how it’s used with the concepts of the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) movement. (link is here

Step 2: Go online and read more about how Mindfulness helps adults manage their feelings and communication with others especially in relationships and during conflict. This will help you gain more understanding about mindfulness.

Step 3: Go online and read a little more on SEL, just to see what else you can find out. Although it’s used with children, think about how it could be used with adults.

Step 4: Write an essay (800-1,000 words) SUMMARIZING the concept of Mindfulness (about 1 paragraph or a little less) and SUMMARIZING SEL (about 1 paragraph or a little less). Continue your essay describing a plan that could be implemented in the workplace for employees OR in minimum security prisons (male or female where they’ve committed minor crimes) OR in parenting classes for parents dealing with divorce or with difficult kids that would help one of these groups deal with communication situations effectively using the concepts or techniques of Mindfulness and SEL.
You only have to select one scenario. You don’t need a plan for all of them. Just choose one that you prefer to write about.

So what you need to do is to imagine that you’re in charge of developing a plan for one of the groups above and you want to come up with a detailed plan as to how they can easily and practically use these skills to manage stress, anxiety, conflict etc. Your essay will explain it to me as though I don’t know anything about it and you want to tell me your vision for how this will work. You can use concepts and skills from the text that we’ve covered in previous chapters or will cover in CH. 8,9 & 11 to help supplement your plan.

Step 5: Submit your work to the drop box by Mon. April 25 at noon. Please put your essay in the form of a Word document (not in the icloud) and simply attach it in the drop-box. Please be sure to proof read and spell check before submitting.
