This workshop will cover a brief history of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in K-12 schools. The application of SEL in the proactive management of youth mental health during the COVID-19 transition back to school will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives:
- Participants will be able to describe the origins of SEL and mindfulness strategies in the K-12 classroom
- Participants will be able to provide a rationale for the use of SEL to enhance learner readiness
- Participants will be able to facilitate three basic mindfulness practices: belly breathing, mindful walking, guided visualization
