SEL and Mindfulness

Social 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.

Mindfulness is the quality of being present and fully engaged with whatever we’re doing and how we are feeling in the moment — free from distraction or judgment, and aware of our thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them.
