SEL+ helps youth-serving organizations build stronger support systems through adult social-emotional learning training, community wrap-around partners, and SELvie—our AI-powered app designed to make SEL more accessible for the whole caregiving village.
SEL+ began with a simple observation: when adults have the skills to name emotions, regulate stress, and repair relationships, young people experience safer spaces to learn and grow.
Over the last seven years, we’ve partnered with schools, mentors, and youth-serving organizations to strengthen adult SEL capacity and connect community partners who can provide wrap-around support—so a child’s needs don’t fall on one person or one system.
We train the adults, align the partners, and equip the village with practical tools—so every young person has consistent support wherever they show up.
Today, SEL+ continues that work through training, resources for caregivers and educators, and SELvie—an app that brings SEL and AI together to support reflection, practice, and growth.
