The Area 2 SEL Hub is dedicated to providing comprehensive professional development, training, and capacity-building experiences to support school districts and community agencies in our area. Our mission is to foster the establishment and expansion of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and Trauma-Responsive programming in Illinois schools. Through the implementation of Resilience Education to Advance Community Healing (REACH) and the development of the Resilience Supportive Schools, we aim to help address the impact of trauma and the mental health needs of students and educators in a way that promotes resilience and builds strong, supportive school communities.
