This presentation was given at the seminar on psychosocial skills (PSS) organized by Santé publique France from February 3 to 5, 2025, in Aubervilliers. Béatrice Lamboy, scientific advisor and co-leader of the PSK program at Santé publique France, and Aurélie Gauchet, Professor of Psychology at the Inter-University Psychology Laboratory at the University of Savoie Mont-Blanc, present the continuation of the first emotional PSK (E1): Strengthening emotional awareness through two sub-CPS modules: understanding emotions (E1.1) and identifying emotions (E1.2). Following a presentation of the key knowledge and skills to be developed, the session delves deeper into the concepts of the connections between emotions, thoughts, and behaviors; the four stages of emotion (charge, tension, discharge, release); and the underlying needs that emotions seek to fulfill.
