Social Emotional Learning in Higher Education

There is a growing literature on mental health promotion and prevention for higher education students, and many of these programs focus on social and emotional outcomes. Although these programs have not yet been conceptualized within an SEL framework, they share many of the same elements and target similar aspects of social and emotional learning as SEL programs for youth. This chapter reviews this literature in the context of SEL and offers suggestions for future research and practice addressing SEL in higher education.
