This intervention programme is based on Mayer and Salovey’s model of emotional intelligence, in its recently reviewed version (Mayer, Caruso, & Salovey, 2016). The emoTIC programme is currently being implemented in its most recent version: emoTIC SPACE. This is a game-style programme that is accessed from a web browser. The videogame is a space adventure, in which the players have accidentally landed on an alien planet and must to return to Earth, but to do so they have to complete a series of missions and challenges based on emotions. The game has a reinforcement structure to encourage adolescents to continue, rewarding them each time they perform an activity correctly and giving them access to a series of space mini-games, as well as permanent access to the resources they unlock as they progress (focusing sessions, relaxation techniques, etc.). It takes place across 4 territories: the Shadow Jungle, the Arid Plain, the Frozen Summit and the Submerged City.

This is a book for emotional educators, who want to learn about themselves and teach adolescents the value of emotions in developing a meaningful life. Emotions, as well as values, cannot be educated solely from a reasoning perspective. Emotional competencies, as well as ethics, cannot be transmitted verbally, but must be taught in relationships and through examples. Therefore, educating in emotions requires an emotionally competent educator who, in turn, has developed his or her own emotional competences. On this path, this programme presents an analysis of the meaning of emotions and emotional education in the classroom, as well as a structured, yet flexible and versatile practical suggestion. The aim is to help emotional educators both in the necessary thought about emotional education and in its implementation. In addition, the book presents an evaluation of the programme carried out by the participating adolescents themselves. Their testimonies are very important, as they serve both to endorse the suggestions presented here and to improve them. But they can also help you, who are or want to be a good emotional educator, to develop your own educational actions.

It is an evaluation and intervention programme for the socio-emotional education of adolescent patients with chronic illness and their family caregivers in an online format.  The 10Vida Programme is a psychological intervention that aims to improve emotional adjustment, their coping with their illness, adherence to treatment and the awareness and empowerment of their strengths in adolescents with chronic physical illness and their families.  Participants will receive an intervention of seven individual sessions: five sessions with each patient and two sessions with their caregivers. For patients, the aim is to improve their emotional health, self-esteem and emotional competences, reducing their perceived illness threat. In addition, for caregivers, the aim is to improve their emotional state and reduce their burden. Indirectly, the work with caregivers and cared-for persons will improve family ties. This programme is currently being implemented with patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus in different leading hospitals in the Valencian Community.

As a contribution to society, the EMINA group designs, implements and evaluates programmes for the development of socio-emotional competences in different age and social groups. Within this framework, the CRECIENDO programme was proposed, aimed specifically at adolescents with behavioural problems. The programme is based on the emotional competence skills and descriptive decision-making models. Its elements aim to train adolescents in self-awareness, social-emotional competence, ethical decision-making and social awareness. The CRECIENDO programme, by means of dynamic methodologies, works to improve subjective well-being, reduce negative emotional symptoms and contribute to the development of positive life plans. It also aims to raise awareness and encourage the participation of professionals in socio-educational centres on the importance of emotions for the mental health of problematic adolescents.
