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.
What You'll learn:
How to build proactive, evidence-based social-emotional learning and mental health support systems in schools to create safer, more stable, and trauma-informed environments for students and staff.
Strategies for threat reduction through early intervention, root cause analysis, expanded data use, and technology tools that help identify and address student risks before they escalate.
The critical role of teaching emotional regulation, resilience, growth mindset, and positive behavior reinforcement to foster lifelong social-emotional skills and reduce stigma around mental health.
Best practices for integrating social-emotional learning into school culture and curriculum, including staff support, community collaboration, mental health first aid training, and measuring program impact for continuous improvement.
