This session explores the powerful intersection of Social & Emotional Learning (SEL) and racial equity.
About this Event

Participants will examine how SEL frameworks can be applied through a racial equity lens to foster deeper self-awareness, build more inclusive environments, and drive meaningful change in both staff culture and program outcomes.

Through honest reflection and hands-on application, attendees will walk away with practical, real-time strategies they can implement immediately to strengthen their teams, center equity in their practice, and move their organizations forward with intention and purpose.


Facilitated by Stacy Jackson


*Please note this session is free to Kalamazoo City residents and organizations. Please inquire about out of city rates.
