About
Emotions matter. This belief is the core of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence’s (YCEI) work. The YCEI conducts and offers trainings that support people of all ages in developing emotional intelligence skills. As a self-supporting unit within the Yale School of Medicine’s Child Study Center, the YCEI’s research and training is funded primarily through foundation and federal grants, corporate support, training revenue, and philanthropists. Their research is conducted in collaboration with experts in education, psychology, policy, and technology. YCEI’s goal is to design effective approaches for supporting school communities in understanding the value of emotions, teaching the skills of emotional intelligence, and building and sustaining positive emotional climates in homes, schools, and workplaces.
