What is Social-Emotional Learning?
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is the ongoing process of developing self-awareness, self-regulation, and interpersonal skills, key abilities that are critical for success in school, work, and life. According to the Committee for Children, “People with strong social-emotional skills are better able to cope with everyday challenges and benefit academically, professionally, and socially. From effective problem-solving and self-discipline to emotional management and empathy, SEL lays the foundation for long-term success.”
When children develop strong SEL skills, they thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Schools flourish, workplaces gain emotionally intelligent employees, and communities become stronger and more compassionate.
CASEN integrates SEL into a safe, supportive online environment designed to help children build confidence and competence in their digital and real-world interactions. CASEN’s platform guides children through lessons that focus on identifying their personal strengths and learning how to communicate and respond appropriately on social media.
A key component of SEL is self-regulation, the ability to manage one’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Research shows that self-regulation is closely linked to academic success. Through interactive activities and structured lessons, CASEN empowers students to recognize and manage their emotional responses, preparing them for the challenges of school and beyond.
CASEN believes that with the right tools, encouragement, and support from both their platform and caring educators, children can strengthen their social-emotional skills. This growth not only supports their academic achievement but also prepares them for college, career, and real-life success in an increasingly connected world.

How does CASEN prepare you for social media?
Social media refers to internet-based platforms such as websites and mobile applications that allow users to create, share, and interact with content or engage in social networking. These platforms enable fast and widespread electronic communication. Users can share personal information, photos, videos, thoughts, and opinions, often in real time.
While social media can be a powerful tool for connection and self-expression, it also comes with risks, especially for children and teens.
At CASEN, they teach students how to navigate these digital spaces safely. For example, they explain how something as simple as a selfie can unintentionally reveal a child’s real-time location to online predators. Children learn about privacy settings, location tracking, and which phone features should be turned off to avoid exposing personal information online.
CASEN LLC is committed to creating a safe, structured online environment specifically designed for children with learning differences, social challenges, and emotional needs. Their goal is to equip children with the knowledge and skills they need to make responsible choices on social media while also protecting their emotional well-being.
Through guided lessons, supervised social interaction, and strong digital safety practices, CASEN helps children build confidence and competence in a digital world—empowering them to engage online safely, thoughtfully, and respectfully.
