The Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional learning (CASEL) has launched a new initiative, CASEL CARES, to equip educators and communities with information and tools to leverage SEL during the COVID pandemic. With the understanding that SEL can play an important role in helping children, adults and communities build resilience, CASEL CARES resources include free weekly webinars, an SEL roadmap for re-opening schools, and other resources designed for educators, parents and caregivers.
