The Importance of SEL and Mindfulness with Dr. Maurice Elias: Podcast
In these unsettling times, it's nice to know you have a friend to go to who understands the importance of not only helping others identify and share their own feelings, but the freedom that comes from asking for support when needed. On our very special walk, Dr. Maurice Elias shares how this applies not only to the field of education but our every day lives and overall mental health.
