Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

Strong social and emotional skills allow us to thrive in life.

Social awareness, cooperating, helping other people, setting goals, and taking responsibility for oneself are important for maintaining healthy relationships and practicing self-care. People with strong skills in these areas get along better with their peers and are more likely to gain meaningful employment. Participants at Inspired who choose SEL can learn these skills so that they may build meaningful friendships and relationships, increase their independence and gain employment.
