Description
Given the current state of youth’s social–emotional well-being, the rise of social–emotional learning (SEL) programs calls forth cultural considerations when working with diverse K–12 students.

Practitioners will be informed of existing frameworks of cultural tailoring that adapt or modify SEL interventions and utilize culturally responsive SEL programs to meet the social emotional needs of diverse students.
