To teach and promote social and emotional learning (SEL) through interactive technology, storytelling, and gamification. Initially, our focus was on drug prevention and reduction of juvenile justice recidivism but over time our mission has expanded. We have applied technological solutions across programs where enhancing SEL would be of value.
