Become a Certified Provider of S.E.A.L.
Social Emotional Awareness Literacy for Preschoolers®
A comprehensive professional training program that includes video presentations, a private Facebook group for support, reading materials, written assignments, a curriculum manual, a recommended supply kit, business training on how to market the program to preschools and more… If you love working with young children and those who teach and care for them, this will take your career to the next level.
Observations were collected and studied from 2003 – 2007 by Lynn Louise Wonders and what was seen was that when young children learn skills for awareness and adaptive expression, communication and self soothing, the degree of aggression and other problematic behavioral markers in the preschool settings and at home were reported to reduce with teachers and parents reporting remarkable improvement. Amy Nelson, LCSW, RPT-S also brings her professional experience and expertise in working with preschoolers in preschool settings to this certification training for mental health professionals.
Being a certified S.E.A.L. Social Emotional Awareness Literacy for Preschoolers® provider prepares counselors and child therapists in private practice to introduce the program to local preschools and early childhood development centers during the morning week-day hours when typically most child therapists are not seeing clients at their offices.
S.E.A.L. Social Emotional Awareness Literacy® program for preschoolers offers preschools an opportunity to have a licensed mental health professional implement 12 weekly in-class lessons, 2 teacher trainings and 2 parent trainings so that the curriculum can live on beyond the 12 weeks the mental health professional provides the training on site. Each preschool will compensate you to train the children, teachers and parents students.
