There are many educators, advocates, and leaders who ensure that Black and Brown children have access to the tools, resources, and support needed to advance and sustain social-emotional learning.
Black SEL looks to reach, teach and build a system of strong black leaders that understand the importance of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and ways to expose and sustain SEL in black communities.
Social- Emotional Learning will not be a trend in black and brown communities, but a sustainable tool to advance and heal- one community at a time.
