Emotional Intelligence 101
Learning to Harness the Power of Your Emotions.

Emotions are powerful. They can override thoughts, transform relationships, and profoundly influence behavior. Emotional intelligence (EQ) allows us to harness that power to understand ourselves, overcome challenges, and build strong relationships. Best of all, emotional intelligence can be learned at any time.

Robert and Jeanne Segal spearheaded the founding of this project in 1999, following the suicide of their daughter, Morgan. We believe that Morgan’s tragedy could have been avoided if she had had easy access to supportive health information. Our mission is to honor her memory and compassionate spirit by providing balanced, up-to-date, and motivating information about mental health and lifelong wellness. See Helpguide's Story.
