LifeSkillz weekly meetings
When our goal is to listen & understand, we use Respectful Communication Guidelines & Mutual Invitation to provide a foundation of inclusion & trust to uphold the well-being of the gathered community
Respectful Communication Guidelines
R = take RESPONSIBILITY for what you say and feel without blaming others.
E = use EMPATHETIC listening.
S = be SENSITIVE to differences in communication styles.
P = PONDER what you hear and feel before you speak.
E = EXAMINE your own assumptions and perceptions.
C = keep CONFIDENTIALITY.
T = TRUST ambiguity because we are not here to debate who is right or wrong.
Our LifeSkillz students wrote something so powerful that it was used to sum up this 30 minute LA Times documentary film.
