We are supposed to develop healthy identities, relationships, and emotional intelligence as a result of SEL. This involves creating safe spaces where people can openly discuss important issues and honestly address problematic issues, such as injustice and hatred. Dena Simmons, a specialist in SEL, racial justice, and healing, served as the inspiration for the work in this collection of resources.
We advise leaders who utilize these resources to pre-read, practice, and engage in group discussions about the concepts. It's crucial to be willing to open up to young people and be vulnerable when telling our own stories.
