There has been an ongoing youth mental health crisis in the United States (U.S.), which was worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. Social emotional learning (SEL) programs have become prevalent in school settings because they are beneficial in reducing behavioral and psychological concerns and increasing SECs in five core areas (self-awareness, self- management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making) (Durlak, 2011; Durlak et al., 2022). SEL implementation has focused predominantly on elementary school students (Durlak et al., 2022), often overlooking adolescents, who first experience prominent psychological and social challenges through the transitional period of middle school. While some SEL programs in middle and high schools yield positive outcomes (Durlak et al., 2022), more work is needed on the implementation and evaluation of these evidence-based practices. A key to a program’s success might be with implementation guiding its use and adaptation to the setting, which typically involves community partnership, ongoing process, and outcome evaluation.
