CASEL CARES is an initiative that connects our community with experts to address how Social Emotional Learning (SEL) can be most helpful in response to today’s circumstances. Dr. Deborah Rivas-Drake and Dr. Bloodine Barthelus engage in a heart-to-heart conversation around the pain and struggle of being a parent, particularly at this time, and the work that is required of us to mitigate racism starting at home. Some key takeaways are: commitment to doing the personal work, choosing to stay at the table, talking as a family about your core values and guiding principles, and modeling humility and action without burdening Black people.
