Wellbeing
“Wellness is the complete integration of Body, Mind and Spirit. The realisation that everything we do, think, feel and believe has an effect on our wellbeing” – Greg Anderson
GSA WELLBEING
At Global Switch Academy, we prioritize wellbeing, recognizing it as a state of comfort, health, and happiness. We are committed to supporting students, parents, and staff in achieving their best physical and mental health. Understanding that happiness is essential to personal wellness, we developed a mentoring program focused on Emotional Literacy Support and person-centered counseling. Through interactions with our mentors, children and young adults will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of wellbeing.
Emotional Literacy Support
As a community-oriented organization, we recognize our responsibility to support the emotional well-being of all children. Enhancing a child’s emotional wellbeing is essential for their success in a learning environment.
Key Components
Self-Awareness: At GSA, we help students explore their personality and individuality. We guide them to see things from others’ perspectives, practice self-control, work creatively and productively, and build self-esteem while taking pride in their achievements.
Managing Emotions: We assist students in becoming aware of their emotions and handling both positive and challenging feelings constructively.
Relationship Skills: GSA provides students with tools to successfully interact with others and build lasting relationships with their peers and beyond.
Emotional Intelligence
Students who cope effectively and succeed in their learning are more likely to experience fewer disciplinary actions, manage their emotions without feeling overwhelmed, articulate their feelings, demonstrate persistence in challenges, show empathy by recognizing others’ emotions, possess motivation and a desire to learn, and skillfully navigate relationships.
