What is Dangers of The Mind (DOM)?
Dangers of The Mind believes in reaching, teaching, and building youth and adults to enhance their personal and professional life through Social-Emotional Learning. The Less Talk More SEL Parent forums is a 4-part series that is focused on parents in your school’s community.
Social-Emotional Learning in schools is one thing, but intentionally allowing social-emotional learning to be taught to parents can help sustain SEL in every child’s life. Families are children’s first teachers and are essential to promoting social and emotional learning (SEL) throughout a child’s life.
