SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL
LEARNING HUB

Last fall, you may have heard about the SEL Hub the DuPage ROE is launching through an ISBE grant. We thank you for your patience as we awaited more details about how the grant services would be provided.  

The wait is over! We are now ready to assist districts and schools with identifying SEL and trauma-related strengths and needs and supporting schools in action planning to become a more trauma-responsive school. This grant will also allow us to provide more training opportunities related to SEL and Trauma so you will be seeing more grant-sponsored SEL and Trauma trainings as we proceed with the SEL Hub.  

For more information, contact mmabee@DuPageROE.org or sfrys@DuPageROE.org.
