Relationships 101....How do We Do It?? The Relationship Foundation Today

Mitchell's guest today is long-time friend of A Better World, Michael Jascz, founder of The Relationship Foundation and author of Healthy Relationships 101. Purchase Michael's book, Healthy Relationships 101, here The Relationship Foundation is a 501(c)(3) educational initiative that incorporates a Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum, Healthy Relationships 101, in New York City high schools. We have also published a book by the same title. We use a process called “Nonviolent Communication” (NVC) that gives one the tools to identify and articulate their needs and feelings without blame and judgment. We also teach an approach to listening empathically.  Students and teachers alike acknowledge that building a vocabulary of needs and feelings enhances their critical thinking, empathy, and respect.  This interview will educate the audience about what this one organization is doing to address the social and educational issues present in our school system among high school students, but even more, the dearth of education in our society about something as fundamental as carrying on harmonious, responsible communication and relationships of all sorts, despite the sustenance of our society pivoting on it.  As well as the strides that are being made to remedy this. Mitchell and Michael are old friends and it's a pleasure to share with our audience the good work that Michael is doing for our society.
