CASEL SEL Competencies

CASEL SEL competencies are key skills that help individuals understand and manage their emotions, build healthy relationships, and make responsible decisions. They include self-awareness (understanding your emotions), self-management (controlling impulses), social awareness (empathy and understanding others), relationship skills (communicating and working well with others), and responsible decision-making (choosing ethical and constructive actions). These skills support personal growth, improve school and work success, and foster positive community interactions. Developing these competencies helps people navigate life's challenges more effectively and build strong, respectful connections with others.
