“Emotional competence is the single most important personal quality that each of us must develop and access to experience a breakthrough. Only through managing our emotions can we access our intellect and our technical competence. An emotionally competent person performs better under pressure.”
- Dave Lennick, American Express Financial Advisers
To support communities, schools, and teens, Prismatic is aligning with crucial aspects of CPS's Healing-Centered Framework (HCF) throughout all of our programming. During these years of uncertainty, we know just how important it is to rebuild supportive classrooms that cultivate community and foster belonging.
