Youth Wellbeing & SEL
In communities with limited mental health services, place-based interventions, and SEL provide preventative, empowering support for youth well-being.
Youth Well-being & SEL
Youth Wellbeing & SEL provides preventative, non-clinical mental health support through ocean-based therapy, mindfulness, and social-emotional learning (SEL). In communities with limited access to formal mental health services, these programs offer an accessible and empowering alternative. The ocean becomes a space for calm, connection, and resilience.
Objective
The primary objective of this cause is to strengthen emotional resilience, self-awareness, and confidence among youth by integrating SEL and wellbeing practices into physical and ocean-based activities.
Rather than responding only in crisis, Friends of Sunwave supports early, preventative wellbeing interventions. Programs are trauma-informed and delivered in group settings that reduce stigma and encourage participation.
School Infrastructure Support
Local facilitators lead programs with deep community understanding. Friends of Sunwave ensures consistent quality, safety, and accountability across all wellbeing initiatives.
These programs strengthen engagement across all other causes.
