In this course, you’ll learn about Social-emotional learning (SEL), which involves developing and using social and emotional skills. People with strong social-emotional skills can better handle everyday challenges, build positive relationships, and make informed decisions. SEL is crucial for improving students’ mental well-being by enhancing their self-perception, fostering healthier relationships, and reducing emotional distress and risky behaviors. Integrating SEL into a comprehensive system of mental wellness support, including promotion, prevention, early intervention, and treatment, is important.
