Webinar: Social and Emotional Learning and Mental Health - An Integrated Approach to Promote Child and Adolescent Wellbeing

 

CSN Resource: Social and Emotional Learning and Mental Health: An Integrated Approach to Promote Child and Adolescent Wellbeing Webinar
Addressing children’s mental health and wellbeing will be vital as we return to school, in any form. A growing body of research shows that proactive support of young people’s social emotional development and mental health contributes to reduced risk behavior, including violence and substance misuse. Given this research, a growing number of communities are using evidence-based social and emotional learning programs and practices to promote young people’s health and wellbeing.

Check out CSN’s February State Technical Assistance Webinar (STAW) to learn how communities can integrate SEL and mental health support systems to address the needs of all children and adolescents. We also provide practical examples of how state agencies can support schools and community organizations in adopting and integrating evidence-based SEL and mental health practices using a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) framework.
