about

 The Social Health Institute (SHi) provides training and coaching in the PACH framework and method of the Listening with Curiosity Project (LCP), an empirically proven intervention for addressing the global crisis of connection that has been implemented in New York City public schools and universities around the world since 2016. SHi was created to expand the reach of the PACH framework and method not only to youth-based organizations including schools and universities, but also to all human-centered organizations. Through providing training and coaching anchored in the pioneering developmental science of Dr. Niobe Way (NYU) and educational research of Dr. Joseph D. Nelson (Swarthmore), the Social Health Institute (SHi) seeks to foster the cognitive, social, and emotional skills for relational intelligence (RQ) that is necessary for human connection and bridging divides. Our evaluation research indicates that our method of fostering RQ skills enhances social and emotional skills and wellbeing, academic and work engagement, and an increased sense of a common humanity.
