Self-Care: The Heart of Social and Emotional Learning
By Kevin Briggs, D.Ed., Professional Learning Managing Coordinator, CPSEL
“The best way to take care of the people around us is to make sure we first take care of ourselves. This is the starting point for any social and emotional learning (SEL) initiative. Self-care is the heart of SEL.”

We work closely with local education agencies, community-based organizations and state and local departments to strengthen systems. We help our clients increase their knowledge, awareness and skills by providing high quality professional learning opportunities, research and evaluation design, and customized consultation.
