Swipe Right: Social Friendships and Productive Work Relationships

Wednesday 18 March 2026·10:45 am

Most students leave school without learning how to build strong friendships or handle tension at work. In this lively session, we’ll turn everyday moments like -- being left out, mixed signals in DMs, or group-project drama -- into teachable moments. You’ll leave with plug-and-play mini-lessons, discussion prompts, and simple feedback phrases that fit any health unit or schedule. We will practice teaching decision-mapping and peer-feedback routines to help teens make friends, keep them, and handle workplace friction. Whether students are headed to a job, college campus, or trade school, they’ll leave your classroom with clear, repeatable strategies that build their confidence.
