CASEL CARES is an initiative that connects our community with experts to address how SEL can be most helpful in response to today’s circumstances. Dr. Marc Brackett shares a four-step process to support adults in (1) being culturally responsive and emotionally intelligent role models for children and (2) helping children build a repertoire of healthy emotion regulation strategies to support their well-being and academic success.
Key Takeaways:
