Social Emotional Learning:

Individual, School & Organizational Programs

 

Social and emotional learning is an integral part of growth in the human experience. SEL is about understanding our relationships with ourselves and with others.  It’s to know ourselves as holistic human beings, and to be able to see the humanity in others in order to build together the world we deserve, which is rooted in equity and justice.

This Emotional Recovery process focuses on self awareness, self management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. From my experience, integrating these areas of wisdom supports us in the expression of our fullest, most authentic selves. Culturally-affirming social-emotional learning relates people back to their ancestry, recognizes and addresses trauma, while most importantly allows space for creative expression of Joy.

This courageous process of understanding the stories of our emotions can empower young people and adults to co-create thriving schools, sustainable workplaces, and contribute to safe, healthy, and just communities. This embodiment of emotional awareness can guide us all to authentic school-family-community partnerships and establish learning environments and experiences that feature trusting and collaborative relationships.

 

“Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching to mend the part that is within our reach.”
