May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
The video below beautifully highlights how OSPI's Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Standards come to life through the eyes of a child. With the support and guidance of caring adults, students at Whitson Elementary are learning to:
Recognize and manage complex emotions
Cooperate and play respectfully with others
Build strong, healthy, and lasting friendships
Think critically and advocate for themselves and others
These essential social and emotional skills not only support mental health but also lay the foundation for lifelong success and well-being.
