Navigating Emotions (NEmo-E)
Social Emotional Learning For Educators

 Empowering educators to build a sustainable ecosystem within schools and the community

Are you an Educator looking to create a strong school support culture in school and the community? You’re at the right place then.

By fostering emotional intelligence, educators can create a positive, inclusive classroom where every student feels valued and supported. While most educators see value in social-emotional learning, many schools may not have a systematic and developmental approach to building these amongst its students.

At Bettr, we found the best way to foster a supportive culture begins with a whole-organisation approach in developing emotionally intelligent individuals. As a significant adult in these students’ lives, you can make this happen by working with us to implement this in your school, institution or community.

By training educators in schools, we aim to create a scalable and sustainable inclusive school environment where educators can continue to drive and implement school-wide.

Led by experienced ex-educators, the NEmo for Educators programme aims to equip and empower educators to become emotionally resilient, significant adults for themselves and their students.

Why join NEmo for Educators programme?

Mental health challenges are on the rise particularly among youths

  • 1 in 3 experience internalising mental health symptoms (eg. sadness, anxiety and loneliness)

  • 1 in 6 have externalising mental health symptoms (e.g. hyperactivity, rule-breaking and aggression)

Insufficient resources focusing on preventing and improving youths mental resilience and emotional capacity

  • Current ecosystems are mainly dealing with manifested symptoms and intervention work

  • Educators function as significant adults to these youths who rely on the Educators for support

Lack of resources that trains peer leaders on how to build on self and peer mental and emotional resilience

  • This results in an overreliance on counselling resources and educators to intervene and “fire-fight”

  • NEmo-E would explore strategies focusing on building community and strong peer support community to solve root problems by taking a whole-school approach

About the Navigating Emotions (NEmo) series:

Informed by years of youth work experience, we found the best way to develop mental well-being and resilience goes beyond an individual approach and starts with creating holistic and inclusive environments where youths are supported in all facets of their lives. The key environments where the majority of youths spend most time include their schools and homes.

Hence, Bettr Lives strives to build supportive and inclusive environments, both in school and at home, through its NEmo programme series. Ultimately, we hope to empower youths to be emotionally resilient in coping with life challenges, foster positive relationships, nurture compassion and enable them to be well-adjusted in their adulthood.

The NEmo series includes:

Our Approach

Our philosophies and programmes are grounded in the 6 Seconds model of Emotional Intelligence, which refers to the capacity to blend thinking and feeling to make optimal decisions and it is critical to having a successful relationship with yourself and others.

To provide a practical and accessible way to learn and practise emotional intelligence, Six Seconds developed a three-part model as a process – an action plan for using emotional intelligence in daily life.

This model of EQ-in-Action begins with three important pursuits: to become more aware (noticing what you do), more intentional (doing what you mean), and more purposeful (doing it for a reason).

As a preferred partner of Six Seconds in Singapore, we adopt their framework and utilise scientifically validated and credible assessments to empower our participants to understand and build their emotional intelligence through actionable steps.
