School-based SEL programs

School-based Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) programs are initiatives within schools designed to help students develop essential skills like self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, relationship-building, and responsible decision-making. These programs aim to create a positive school environment, reduce behavioral issues, and improve students' overall well-being and academic success. Typically, SEL is integrated into the curriculum through lessons, activities, and school-wide practices, involving teachers, students, and sometimes parents. By fostering emotional intelligence and social skills, these programs support students in navigating their personal and social lives more effectively.
