Social- Emotional Learning (SEL) Groups
BUILD CHARACTER AND CONFIDENCE
Our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) groups are perfect for kids and teens who need a safe space to grow! Our classes use the five CASEL competencies (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making) to create a comprehensive curriculum that is also adaptable to the needs of individuals. SEL groups help to increase confidence, understand and manage emotions, build healthy relationships, communicate with others and create a framework to set and achieve goals.
