Unraveling the Connection: Mental Health and SEL for Student and Educator Well-being

Join us for a one-hour webinar as we delve into the distinction between mental health and social and emotional learning (SEL), understanding how these two concepts are separate yet interconnected forces for overall well-being.

Viewers will see the value in:

  • Enhancing your relationship with self through exploration, growth, acceptance, and love.
  • Encouraging the pursuit of self-care and authenticity and highlighting how this connects to emotional well-being through mindfulness.
  • Examining the relationship between social and emotional learning (SEL) and mental health, exploring how these concepts interconnect, contribute to one another, and differ in substance.

Speakers

Dr. Aurelia Bickler, Director, The Whole Person Center, National University

Domonique Hensler, Senior Director, Care Redesign Delivery for Hospital and Network and Transforming Mental Health, Rady Children’s Hospital and Health Center
