Why is Social-Emotional Support Important?
Why is Social-Emotional Support Important?
Social-emotional supports are resources and services designed to promote the social, emotional, and overall well-being of our students, families, and staff. These supports are grounded in the principles of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL).
SEL is the process through which children and adults develop and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, demonstrate empathy for others, build and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
Providing social-emotional support helps create a positive and supportive environment where students can develop the skills they need to be successful in school, at home, and in their communities.
