SEL for
EVERY Family

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is proven to equip kids with the personal and interpersonal skills that they need to succeed in school, career, relationships, and life. But is this approach powerful and accessible enough to counter the challenges confronting every family today: pandemics, economic dislocation, racism, trauma?
In observance of SEL Day 2023, our panel of parent experts will discuss SEL’s abilities to address all types of families and their challenges. All parents are welcome to come learn how to build your social emotional intelligence and that of your kids and face any challenge.
