"Many evidence-based prevention programs that are currently out there were built 20 or even 30 years ago, which is to say in the last century! Many of these programs were developed in response to specific risk factors and so are very reactive. What I like about SEL for Prevention Middle School program is that it focuses on protective factors and on building social and emotional skills to provide resilience against a variety of risk factors. SEL for Prevention for Middle School program takes a 21st century approach: it is contemporary, comprehensive, and holistic. I love that the program goes deeper by incorporating approaches such as positive psychology and mindfulness."
