Campaign Action Plan:
Launch Fund: A major fund-raising is being initiated to build the resource chest of $500,000 from which to drive the million signature campaign, media and lobbying efforts.
Media Strategy: We will orchestrate a media campaign that will make Emotional Literacy a household phrase.
How can you help?
Research: Launch a comprehensive study to detail the social and economic benefits of Emotional Literacy as a foundational element to a healthy society.
Policy Impact: Finally, the national campaign will result in legislative and institutional advocacy in Washington intended to move the policy makers towards advocating for Emotional Literacy education at home and in school.
Many of the problems in modern society are due, at least in part, to people being unable to understand and appropriately express emotion. Emotional Literacy is a preventive tool, which properly understood, can help solve many social ills like violence, illness, drug abuse, dysfunctional relationships, and global societal conflicts. On the other hand, people who deal with emotions in a positive way find tremendous benefit. Emotional Literacy can contribute to good health, loving and intimate relationships, happiness and success in life.
