The National Committee's branch in the Jazan Region delivered a training programme entitled “Emotional and Social Intelligence” for inmates, released persons and their families, with the aim of developing participants' skills in understanding and managing their emotions and building positive relationships. The programme covered a number of themes, most notably: developing self-awareness; managing emotions and controlling anger and stress; fostering empathy and understanding the feelings of others; developing effective communication skills; methods of resolving conflicts and making positive decisions; in addition to building self-confidence, strengthening social support and adapting to change. The programme forms part of the National Committee's ongoing efforts to enable beneficiaries to develop their personal and social abilities, thereby promoting psychological balance and contributing to a better quality of life.
