Doha – December 15, 2025: The Institute for Population Health (IPH) at Weill Cornell Medicine-<a href="https://gulfeyenews.com/art-basel-qatar-unveils-further-details-for-its-inaugural-2026-edition-including-highlights-from-the-galleries-sector-and-an-expansive-special-projects-program-across-msheireb-dow/”>Qatar (WCM-Q) will host a workshop to help health and education professionals enhance their social-emotional and cognitive skills. The workshop is scheduled to take place on January 31, 2026, at WCM-Q.
Titled ‘Unlocking the Connection: Human Development and Social-Emotional Excellence,’ the interactive six-hour training course will explore the dynamic relationship between adult developmental stages and the social-emotional competencies (SECs) essential for success in professional and social life.
Grounded in constructive development theory and research on social-emotional learning, the course will guide participants through understanding how adults derive meaning from their life experiences and how that shapes their ability to manage emotions, build relationships, and make responsible decisions. Through self-reflection, case studies, and group discussions, participants will gain insights into their own personal growth and learn practical strategies to support their social-emotional development and that of their mentees and peers.
Directed by Dr
Maha Elnashar, lecturer in population health sciences and director of the Center for Cultural Competence in Healthcare at IPH, the course is designed for individuals interested in personal growth, leadership development, social-emotional competencies, and educational innovation.
The workshop is accredited locally by the Ministry of Public Health’s Department of Healthcare Professions – Accreditation Section and internationally by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).
