"Hang Ten and Chill"

The Surf Safe: HANG TEN AND CHILL curriculum was designed to help individuals develop emotional awareness, self-regulation, and healthy relationship skills. Using experiential activities, the curriculum teaches participants how to recognize emotions early, understand the impact of emotional escalation, and make intentional choices that support personal goals and positive relationships.

The curriculum emphasizes that emotions—especially anger—are a natural part of being human. Rather than eliminating emotions, Surf Safe focuses on helping individuals notice emotions sooner, respond more skillfully, and repair relationships when harm occurs.

This program is especially effective for individuals who experience difficulty with emotional regulation, impulse control, communication, or conflict resolution, including those with cognitive or developmental limitations.
