Social Emotional Asset Development (SEAD) is the process of building valuable knowledge, skills, mindsets, and resources that support well-being, interpersonal relationships, and positive outcomes such as educational attainment. SEAD builds on the knowledge and skills gained through Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and recognizes that when these personal skills and knowledge are put into action, especially in supportive environments and in conjunction with opportunities, they produce specific positive outcomes such as a sense of belonging, self-efficacy, and social connections that become lifelong assets.
This framework identifies and explains the social emotional assets that IRC views as particularly important for youth affected by forced migration in RAI contexts. It provides a common language with which IRC staff and partners can communicate and design approaches that are aligned, transferable, and can be systematically improved over time.
