Mindful Matters

Social-Emotional Learning Program

Helping students build resilience, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence.

What is Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)?

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is how students learn to manage their emotions, build healthy relationships, and make thoughtful decisions. It helps students grow in confidence, handle stress, and develop the emotional skills they need to succeed—in school and in life.

SEL supports more than just academics. It improves student behavior, increases motivation, and builds stronger communities.

Social-Emotional Learning Includes:

  • Self-Awareness – Understanding emotions, strengths, and challenges

  • Self-Management – Learning to manage stress, set goals, and stay focused

  • Social Awareness – Building empathy, respect, and appreciation for others

  • Relationship Skills – Communicating clearly and resolving conflict

  • Responsible Decision-Making – Making safe, respectful, and thoughtful choices

Introducing Mindful Matters

Mindful Matters is Edunex’s SEL program. It helps students build emotional intelligence, strengthen relationships, and develop skills to manage life’s ups and downs. With a focus on real-world experiences and culturally responsive support, we create a safe space where students feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Mindful Matters is delivered in person, on your campus, either during or after school. Our Edunex team works directly with students every week to provide structured, consistent emotional support that complements your school’s climate goals.

Here’s what students and schools can expect:

Student Workshops

Weekly workshops are focused on building emotional awareness and relationship skills. Sessions are interactive, student-centered, and rooted in real-life experiences.

REACH Covers Topics Like:

  • Identifying and expressing emotions

  • Coping strategies and stress management

  • Building healthy friendships and boundaries

  • Managing conflict and peer pressure

  • Practicing mindfulness and reflection

  • Building confidence and self-esteem

Personalized Guidance

We check in with every student regularly. These individual check-ins allow us to offer tailored support, encouragement, and help students express themselves, navigate challenges, and feel connected—emotionally and socially.

Advising

Students can meet with EduNex team members at any time and also receive scheduled sessions to reflect on emotional well-being and personal development. We guide them through building resilience, managing stress, and fostering healthy relationships.

Homework Assistance

We have open homework help sessions throughout the week. These offer a supportive space for students to stay on track academically while building study habits and reducing school-related stress.

  • Student progress in SEL development
