Summary

Apni Shala was co-founded in 2013, and has been working since then towards building social and emotional competencies among individuals to constructively engage with society and have a harmonious coexistence. We are working towards a 3-fold mission: creating promotive and preventive mental health programs in partnership with schools offering professional development opportunities to teachers, educators and mental health professionals running a research-based school that integrates academic and social and emotional competency development. Apni Shala’s approach to Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is informed by Collaborative of Academic Social and Emotional Learning Framework(CASEL, USA), Narrative Practices, Diversity & Inclusion, Constructivist Learning Theory, and Mindfulness. Over a period of 9 years, Apni Shala has worked with over 8000 young people. Our work is aimed at not just students but also teachers and caregivers in the ecosystem.
