MACalling SEL “therapy” is how we end up turning classrooms into clinics and then blaming teachers when it collapses.
When we mix those up, we overload teachers and we shortchange students. We can do better than that. We can teach the skills in school like any other subject, and we can fight for the care kids need outside of it, without turning classrooms into clinics.
If you’re doing this work in schools, you already know how much implementation matters. @ruler_approach is one example of what it looks like when the skills are taught as education, not treatment.
