How calmversation helps:
We make it easy to implement social emotional learning (SEL) in classroom settings
We help students and educators engage empathetically in virtual and on-site environments
We enable educators and parents to engage children’s thoughts and feelings beyond the limited lens of tests, homework, and report cards
By fostering mutually respectful and calming environments where children understand themselves better and communicate more effectively with others, we create engaged learning landscapes where ideas flourish and children thrive.

What is SEL?
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process of acquiring and applying the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to develop healthy identities, manage emotions, achieve goals, feel and show empathy, make caring decisions, and establish and maintain supportive relationships.
Why does it matter?
Research shows that SEL significantly improves students’ academic performance and attitudes toward school, increases their ability to manage depression and stress, and empowers them to lead with kindness, sharing, and empathy. The long-term benefits of SEL are many, including positive school environments and more just communities.

Workshops for parents
Jena Sharma, founder of calmversation, offers engaging and empowering workshops to help parents learn the skills of mutually respectful interactions and develop the capacity for empathetic problem solving.
When parents learn the skills of showing up authentically and consistently with their children, they help their children learn the skills of reading others and validate their ability to trust their instincts. The result is confident, compassionate, emotionally intelligent children who are ready to enter the world believing in themselves and their capabilities.
