Using Nonverbal Communication to Support Young People

Your Course Description

Communications
Des Icon
  • Young people don’t just listen to what you say—they watch how you say it. Studies show that up to 93% of communication is nonverbal, meaning your body language, tone, and expressions shape how young people perceive and trust you.
  • In this micro course, you will develop skill in using nonverbal communication intentionally to build trust and connection.
  • You will explore how small nonverbal cues strengthen relationships, helping you create a supportive environment where young people feel seen, valued, and safe.

Your Learning Objective
