DIY EVENTS FEEL BETTER INSPIRATION WATCH & LISTEN ABOUT

Dear DM 1

There is nothing like the power of acknowledgment to say: I SEE YOU. YOU MATTER TO ME.

Let’s make things better! As the CEO of your very own Personal Service Organization you can up your game even higher as to how you treat people affirmatively.

As we all begin to acknowledge the vulnerability in ourselves and each other and walk a mile in each others’ shoes, then we will make the kind of difference that has a positive ripple effect.

Click here to take a few minutes to watch this week’s video about
how YOU can impact your community with acknowledgment.

Make It Better with my UTrain (MDPA) Make A Difference with the Power of Acknowledgment Program. It is designed to reach out to our community and encourage affirmative involvement with our schools so that together we will help kids and families who are hurting themselves and others through violence, drugs, alcohol and suicide.

MDPA can provide an additional boost to intervention programs you currently have in place.

As you know, for our living and working communities to be safe and our kids to excel academically we need to Make It So individually and collectively.

By implementing Make A Difference (Hour, Day, Week, Month or Year) Theme you can lift every one up and out of hurtful bullying, gossip, prejudice, backstabbing, jealousy, labeling, defiance, belligerence, emotional and psychological escape through drugs, alcohol, food and electronics, we must start NEW conversations that bring us together.

This NEW conversation can begin with the inspirational movies I’ve brought into the MDPA program, followed with a series of thought-provoking questions designed to engage students with each other and their teachers to discuss the concepts of the story represented in the movie.

As adults, we need to learn how to listen to what Today’s Youth have to say about how they feel and think even if their “truth” or point-of-view makes us uncomfortable. To be able to listen and hear what’s really being felt and said, it can be as simple as slowing down and continuing to ask questions until each point-of-view has been expressed and/or vented.

MDPA is structured so that adults who get jumpy when things get emotional can stay with the questions provided and simply let a classroom of students share their feelings and thoughts …and keep it SAFE for them to do so.

MDPA teaches students, faculty and staff how to express thoughts and feelings in a way that keeps them coming back to their most AUTHENTIC selves. This is where self-esteem begins and academic achievement percentages improve significantly.
