The Center for Social Emotional Wellness is a community organization with a mission to improve the lives of children, educators and communities by providing access to a variety of wellness services. We provide wellness strategies to under-served communities and the professionals who serve those communities.
Core Beliefs
We believe that in order for children to be successful in school and in life, they need to learn a powerful set of social and emotional learning skills such as self awareness, self management, decision making and relationship skills that will enable them to deal with challenges that they face and be able to navigate the world with confidence.
We also believe that the social and emotional well being of the teachers, administrators and youth development professionals that serve our children is critically important and needs to be supported by providing safe spaces for them to de-stress and learn strategies to avoid burnout and compassion fatigue.
