Information
Social and emotional competencies such as relationship skills, emotional management, and social awareness are important for both children and adults. These skills help people of all ages manage stress, connect to each other, and succeed in school and at work. Libraries are uniquely positioned to help members of our community develop these important skills through programming, book selection and recommendations, and by pointing users to the right supports in our community. Watch this fascinating discussion on demand with Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) experts on practical steps you can take to promote your community’s wellbeing.
