About Josselyn’s SEL Program
Implementation
Josselyn hires, trains, and supervises a dedicated professional who is fully integrated into your school community.
With expertise in both education and mental health, our team members understand the unique challenges schools face and serve as collaborative thought partners to support student and staff well-being.
Methods and Practices
The SEL Consultant is embedded within the school’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), providing Tier 1, 2, and 3 interventions for identified students. Using a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach, SEL Consultants incorporate a variety of therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and art therapy to deliver individualized support that meets the diverse needs of students.
Holistic Approach
SEL Consultants also provide training and coaching for teachers, staff, and families.
This support helps build a strong, collaborative network and a consistent approach that fosters ongoing care and a deeper understanding of students’ social-emotional development.
