Each of us doing one small thing makes a huge difference.

You could do one small thing from the list below to advance emotional intelligence personal life skills in schools, helping all kids including many of the millions of kids set back mentally and emotionally even now from Covid-era restriction.

At the same time you will be helping create preK-12 school cultures that teach kids how to manage their feelings, traumas and relationships so they don’t go on to shoot other kids.

SEL has the ability to teach kids how to manage their emotional and mental states, re-open their capacity for learning, and gain life skills for success. 

YOUR ONE THING might be one of the following (below are what your businesses can do):

• Share this cause and website or whatever pages you think helpful on your social media. There are sharing buttons at the top of the post.
• Share information about SEL with at least one parent you know. Send them to https://equipourkids.org.
• Donate a few bucks to our campaign that effectively mobilizes support for SEL from parents, the public, employers and others, as well as directly assists grassroots educator organizations in their work advancing SEL into our schools. 
• Ask the HR director where you work to contact us for free information or free SEL workshops that would be helpful to parenting employees at your workplace.  They can email contact@equipourkids.org.
• Arrange for one of our speakers to talk to groups you belong to.
• Parent or not, call your local school (ask for the principal) or school district (ask for the superintendent) and tell that person you support comprehensive SEL in schools. It doesn’t matter if you are not a parent. You can use this guide to help you.
• Call or email your state legislators and tell them you support comprehensive SEL in schools. Again, it doesn’t matter if you’re not a parent.
• If you are a parent of school-age kids or younger, practice SEL tools at home. Visit our Child/Parent Emotional Health Toolkit . And sign up for our weekly Parent Tip Newsletter.  
• Volunteer with us. We can use all kinds of talents in our many initiatives to reach the public, including media ones like creating a new parenting video steaming service or organizing support from different important sectors. You can find listing on our volunteer page and also at Taproot.
