Model of Intervention
A Preventive and Fundamental Approach
Students learn to express feelings and needs from an early age, which prevents them from suffering from more severe mental health problems
A Holistic Approach:
Empower Parents & Teachers
We empower teachers and parents who have the greatest influence on students’ growth, to bring a wider scope of impact to the emotional well-being of students
OUR THEORY
OUR THEORY:
COMPASSIONATE
COMMUNICATION
Compassionate Communication was developed by psychologist Marshall Rosenberg in 1963, and has been practising over 60 countries. It emphasises "Connection before Solution", which facilitates communication with a 4-step model.
In 2002, UNESCO recognised Compassionate Communication as one of the best practices in conflict resolution in and out of school. By learning and practising Compassionate Communication, students can gradually develop empathy, then
establish and maintain positive relationships.

OUR THEORY
SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL)
Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) defines SEL as "the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and
achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions". A systemic approach to SEL advances educational equity and excellence through authentic school-family-community partnerships.
1. Observe the situation objectively without judgments.
2. State how the observation is making you feel
3. Connect the observation and feeling with a need
4. Make specific and clear request about what you need

JUST FEEL
Compassionate School Programme
_edited.png)
Our "Compassionate School Programme" adopts a preventive approach and implements a whole-school participation model. We assume the roles of "supporter," "facilitator," and "consultant," working closely with partner schools to foster a Compassionate School Culture among students, teachers, and parents, bringing about systematic impact.
The programme encompasses a formal curriculum on "Social-Emotional Learning" for students, training for teachers and parents, as well as Compassionate Communication tools. Our aim is to assist students in self-care, enhance their resilience, establish closer interpersonal relationships through communication, and prevent emotional and behavioral issues.
