Full Circle’s Approach to Youth Development
All of Full Circle of Lake County’s Youth Programs are rooted in the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) framework of 5 Core SEL Competencies developed by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL).
-
The abilities to understand one’s own emotions, thoughts, and values and how they influence behavior across contexts.
-
The abilities to manage one’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors effectively in different situations and to achieve goals and aspirations.
-
The abilities to understand the perspectives of and empathize with others, including those from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and contexts.
-
The abilities to establish and maintain healthy and supportive relationships and to effectively navigate settings with diverse individuals and groups.
-
The abilities to make caring and constructive choices about personal behavior and social interactions across diverse situations.
