Webinar: SEL 101: An Introduction to Social and Emotional Learning for Health Care Professionals

June 3, 2025

The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), had a vision over 20 years ago: that all children and adults could be self-aware, caring, and loving people and that working together to achieve our goals would create a more inclusive, loving world. Dietitian Katie Cavuto, MS, RD, Social/Emotional Learning (SEL) Specialist, sees the benefits of SEL as reaching far beyond the classrooms they were created for. CASEL’s foundational competencies of self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision making, relationship skills, and social care are a resource for everyone, everywhere, and at any time.

Join Katie Cavuto, MS, RD, on Tuesday, June 3, from 2-3:30 p.m. ET, as she explores CASEL’s five foundational competencies of SEL and discusses the direct impact they have on self-care and patient/client care. Improving self-awareness and self-management/self-care has been shown to improve the relationship with the self, the ability to make healthy decisions, and can increase self-worth. The core competencies of SEL have also been proven to improve our ability to live compassionately, both towards ourselves and in relationship to others as well. Katie will provide actionable strategies that can be used across the care team and guide attendees through introductory tools and resources that strengthen social and emotional skills – tools we can use ourselves and with our clients and patients as well.
