Living Become partners with schools to create and lead workshops, trainings and support groups for students and teachers. There is strong scientific evidence that SEL programs, like the ones we provide improve children’s well-being, behavior, and academic outcomes.


Our social and emotional learning experiences focus on the SEL skills listed above so our students and educators can achieve results in the following:

Academic Achievement

  • Hundreds of studies involving more than 1 million students worldwide across PreK-12 offer consistent evidence that SEL has a positive impact on students’ academic achievement.

  • Students participating in Living Become SEL programs have higher levels of “school functioning,” as reflected by their grades, test scores, attendance, and homework completion.

  • SEL builds social and emotional skills that increase student engagement and lead to improved academic performance.

  • The positive impact on academics lasts long-term: Years after students participated in SEL, their academic performance was an average of 13 percentile points higher than students who didn’t participate.

Positive Attitudes

  • Participation in SEL programs, like Living Become support groups and trainings is linked to decreased emotional distress, more positive attitudes about self and others, and fewer externalizing behaviors and discipline problems.

  • Living Become SEL programs enhance coping skills, resiliency, and emotion identification, which can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety in the short term.

  • Students participating in SEL report an increased sense of safety and support, better relationships with teachers, and stronger feelings of belonging and inclusiveness in schools.
