YetOshkal Educational Services – Where You Come to Thrive

Adolescence is a time of physical, cognitive, social, and emotional changes. Adolescent age offers a dynamic opportunity to foster young people’s strengths and thereby increase the likelihood of positive outcomes. The focus has always been on the negative aspect of adolescent attitudes. YetOshkal Educational Services provides an appropriate intervention that strengthens protective factors to foster the children’s strength. Adolescents experience significant changes in their family relations, school environments, and peer group affiliations that impact their motivation and learning (Berks & Meyers, 2016). Extant literature revealed that the adolescent brain undergoes extensive remodeling in response to the experiences during development (Berks & Meyers, 2015; Hutchinson, 2015). Children with secure attachment thrive in life and are successful because they have significant others who are available and responsive to their needs. They have socio-emotional support and can navigate adolescent-age experiences successfully.

YetOshkal Educational services believe that every child has the potential to learn, grow, influence, and lead. Our vision is to motivate youth to foster positive relationships, strengthen academic skills, and bring out their great potential positively. Children with socio-emotional skills can cope with life challenges because they turn out to be responsible and successful in life.

We provide support to children. We grow the children's self-efficacy, self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills, which are vital for resilience in the face of adversity. We developed the children's success and growth mindset. Research has shown that socio-emotional support and services increase youth self-efficacy, self-awareness, and positive identity development (Hutchison, 2015).

For youth to actualize their potential, there must be a strategy to help build their self-esteem, leadership, advocacy, and professional development skills and increase their influence and personal stake in the community. Self-efficacy is critical in how adolescents feel about themselves and whether they can be successful in life (Santrock, 2018). When children develop self-esteem and self-efficacy, there is a reduction in problem behavior as they embrace prosocial behavior to navigate life and be successful.
