Acknowledge Alliance's original Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum, Project Resilience, is conducted during the school day for students in grades K-8. Lessons are facilitated by one of our mental health professionals, with the teacher present in the classroom. The idea that everyone can build their resilience through a strengths-based focus and through connecting with others provide the foundation for the program. Acknowledge Alliance staff lead mindfulness and gratitude practices every lesson in addition to creative activities that focus on CASEL's core competencies. Students and their teachers learn about and practice essential social emotional skills, including identifying and regulating emotions, demonstrating awareness and caring for others, establishing and maintaining positive relationships, and making responsible decisions.
