Skills for Emotional Education and Development

The CopeColumbia SEED (Skills for Emotional Education and Development) program is a skills training program focused on building and enhancing skills to manage emotions for individuals within our Columbia professional community ​.

The program includes 1:1 individual skills training sessions with a CopeColumbia faculty member and teaches evidence-based principles and strategies that can improve self-awareness and self-regulation, which are critical tools that help us communicate effectively and manage conflict.  The facilitator-guided program was developed by CopeColumbia psychologists and utilizes evidence-based principles and techniques.

The 1:1 individual skills training sessions will include:

  • Education on emotions
  • Learning to identify common triggers
  • Developing appropriate tools to manage emotions and tolerate distress
  • Interpersonal effectiveness
  • Skills consolidation 

All CUIMC faculty and staff colleagues are invited to participate. SEED is not treatment or therapy, but rather a 1:1 skills coaching model.  There is no billing and no documentation. Participation in the program is voluntary, free, and confidential.
