The Project aims to enhance the social and emotional skills of school-aged children living in rural areas of mainland China through the provision of systematic social and emotional learning (SEL) curriculum focusing on self-awareness, emotional coping®ulation, and relationship skill training.
The 2021-2022 National Mental Health Report reveals a crisis: 25.2% of rural primary and 20% of secondary students face depression risks, with 3.8% at high risk. Lacking professional resources and trained support, they suffer higher anxiety than urban peers. Left unaddressed, these barriers cause lifelong struggles. Our project bridges this gap through systematic Social-Emotional Learning, empowering these children to cultivate resilience, heal, and thrive.
Our project creates a safety net for 6-16-year-old rural children: 1) SEL Curriculum: At least 16 age-appropriate lessons per year to build emotional resilience. 2) Empowered Educators: Integrated training to help teachers manage students' psychological needs. 3) Immersive Environments: Activity packs and "psychology corners" for daily support. We combine curriculum, teacher training, and environmental support to create a sustainable ecosystem where children thrive.
We have empowered 6,000,000+ children & 13,000+ teachers to build a sustainable support system. Rigorous evaluations prove significant gains in resilience and emotional regulation. By integrating teacher training, school environment support (activity packs & psychology corners), and adaptive, feedback-driven program iteration, we are building an enduring mental health network that continuously evolves to ensure every generation of rural children has the emotional foundation to succeed.
The Government of People’s Republic of China has implemented new regulations for foreign NGOs operating in China. GlobalGiving must receive Government approval before we can disburse funds to organizations registered in Mainland China. This means that the disbursement of your donation to this project may be slightly delayed while we obtain the appropriate approval.
