Our social emotional learning program, Growing G.R.E.E.N. InterActions, is being integrated into the programming of ClubXcite, a San Diego mentoring and tutoring company for students with academic, social, emotional and behavioral challenges!

Club Xcite provides quality, innovative educational services for schools and families in San Diego County seeking personalized academic, social, emotional and behavioral solutions. Club Xcite loves our newly published social skills curriculum!  They will be integrating the key concepts, worksheets and lessons from the Growing G.R.E.E.N. InterActions Social Literacy Program to use with all students in their Mindful Adventures Summer Camp.  This specialized camp provides opportunities to learn and apply new social and emotional skills in fun and engaging outings with experienced social and executive functioning coaches.  Read more…

​The Mindful Adventures Camp is a community-based program designed to support children who have mild to moderate challenges in social settings.  Club Xcite's camp program will be enhanced by Herb Hein's G.R.E.E.N. Program, with its focus on teaching participants:

• how to engage in self-control
• how to survey the social scene around them
• how to be aware that they are on a Team with others
• how to set and meet Common Team Goals and Personal Goals,
• what to say and do to act in a positive, prosocial manner with others, and  
• how to act G.R.E.E.N.: Grateful, Respectful, Empathetic, Easygoing, and Navigating!

ClubXcite is also in the process of providing the Growing G.R.E.E.N. InterActions lessons and reinforcement materials to their staff to use within 1:1 tutoring, coaching, and therapy sessions as well!  Club Xcite's services share a common goal of supporting social, emotional and executive functioning skills as a way to cultivate confidence and independence in their students. Growing G.R.E.E.N. InterActions will help ClubXcite foster social skills through social emotional learning, incorporating personalized social and behavioral solutions and strategies. Club Xcite's coaches will have the Growing G.R.E.E.N. program's 400+ pages of lessons available as well as its powerful visual strategies, motivating activities and reinforcement tools.  These materials will enhance Club Xcite’s programming to help their students build awareness around the metacognitive processes that underlie their struggles with lagging skills such as:

• decision-making
• flexible thinking
• self-regulation, and
• frustration tolerance

The explicit instruction as well as the metacognitive and cognitive-behavioral focus provided by the G.R.E.E.N. program will offer an additional, powerful resource for Club XCite's mental health programs. 
 
We are so grateful for Club Xcite giving us a Community Shout Out in their Summer Newsletter 2019 and for integrating the Growing G.R.E.E.N. program into their innovative educational services as we all strive to "be our better selves in a better world".   Check out all of their services on their website: exciteway.com
