Grades 8th - 12th

The Teen Connection project, an evidence-based program is a highly engaging, social emotional learning program for high school aged youth, focused on building healthy relationships and connections. TCP was developed through a research to practice partnership between Dr. Joseph Allen at the University of Virginia and Wyman.

TCP is a 12 - 14 week program for 8th through 12th graders, offered in a variety of setting including high schools, afterschool, and community-based settings. Teens meet in small groups weekly and use a guided curriculum to interact and share in ways that improve their connections with others. Teens leave TCP with new social emotional skills that they can apply to their relationships at home, school, and within the community.

Social Emotional Learning is the foundation for all learning.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process that helps people develop healthy identities, manage emotions, feel empathy for others, maintain supportive relationships with friends or family members, as well as make responsible decisions.

SEL encompasses everything from goal setting to stress management, which provides both children and adults with tools they can use to express themselves authentically appropriately.

Implementing SEL leads students to acquire techniques for processing and managing emotions as well as essential social skills.

SEL teaches students how to be more socially and emotionally aware - helping them to build healthy relationships, communicate effectively, and live a meaningful life.
