Prevent Violence, Bullying, and Suicide through SEL in Schools

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs help students build the life skills they need to function and succeed in a rapidly changing and challenging world. Skills like empathy, self-confidence, decision-making, and resilience – all of which stem from different levels of self and social awareness.

All of our K-12 programs are designed to target SEL needs and metrics. We’ve mapped our program elements to the SEL framework, and we have proven success in bringing about positive outcomes. Our social emotional learning interventions are proven to create a positive school culture, leading to safer schools and emotionally resilient students.

Social Emotional Learning & Mental Health

Rachel’s Challenge programs promote key elements in Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Core Competencies. These learned skills include: better understanding and management of our own emotions, empathy, appropriate interaction with others, and good decision making. These core competencies can also be described as outcomes or behaviors.

We like to say that we are not an anti-bullying program; that instead we are pro-kindness. By modeling, inspiring and supporting positive behavior, we avoid the negative effects of disciplinary action taken against bullying and violence after they happen.

By steering the culture of schools, we transform the culture of communities, as students transition into the leaders of tomorrow.

Our K-12 programs allow customization and flexibility for your school

  • Digital

  • On-site

  • Combined

Digital and on-site programs are complementary to each other and completely modular. Many schools use Digital programming to maintain the momentum they experience from hosting the Live school assembly program. Both programs are also useful stand-alone.
