Research Supporting Effectiveness of SEL For Prevention Program

There is research supporting the effectiveness of the SEL for Prevention program and Camp Make Believe Kids.

Note that the research refers to the “Step Up” program because the SEL for Prevention program was originally called “Step Up.”

Here is the summary from the program evaluation report:

“The results of this research show the STEP UP (now called SEL for Prevention) program to be an effective way to enhance social emotional skills in middle school youth and provide tools for youth to learn prosocial attitudes and lifelong positive coping skills. Thereby these tools increase overall protective factors, promote positive mental health, and help mitigate negative situations (CASEL, 2013; Wyman, 2014). Teacher ratings of students who participated in STEP UP showed a statistically significant improvement from the beginning to the end of the program, while scores of students in the control group remained relatively the same or declined over time. Students who participated in the program during both school years were shown to have increased their social and emotional competency skills, becoming more aware of their own emotions, and using more positive strategies when facing adverse situations. This suggests that for students to receive the full impact of the program, it should be implemented for at least two years in order for students to show significant results.”
