Norwell 6th graders learned about worldview and how we all see things “differently” depending on life experiences.

We love this illustration because it teaches students about empathy and being able to understand the people around them!

💛Meet Mallory-One of our newest instructors💛

✨𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫?✨
I went to college with the idea in mind to become a therapist and work with kids. I studied psychology and later professional counseling to complete my master’s degree. 

✨𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫?✨
I have worked with kids in various settings and I enjoy getting opportunities to help support youth in learning about healthy and effective coping skills. Alive and Well is a great program to be a part in this mission!
