What is Social & Emotional Learning?

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

The need to provide Social & Emotional Learning alongside the academic rigour in our schools is becoming increasingly more important. With the rapid rise of anxiety, depression and stress, working with students to show them practical ways to reduce their stress and increase their resilience, reach their goals, develop empathy and understand their brain, will help set them up to thrive in both school and life.
