Research shows SEL is associated with a positive impact on important mental health variables that increase children’s attachment to school and motivation to learn and reduce risky behaviors.
Positive social skills are protective factors for mental health. Teaching youth mindfulness, coping skills, communication skills, relaxation techniques, self-regulation, and emotion identification and management equips them with tools and resources to address mental health challenges that interfere with learning. Capitalizing on natural opportunities to promote social-emotional learning and mental health also plays an important role.
