Summary
This paper presents the PRICES framework as a comprehensive approach to implementing social and emotional learning (SEL) programmes within educational systems to promote mental health and wellbeing. The framework comprises seven components designed to foster holistic development alongside academic achievement, with emphasis on whole-school approaches and evidence-based interventions. The work argues that schools are pivotal in shaping student wellbeing across multiple developmental dimensions and that prioritising community, educator support, and student voice contributes to thriving educational environments.
UK applicability
The PRICES framework and SEL integration principles are potentially applicable to UK secondary and primary educational settings, particularly given existing UK policy interest in mental health promotion in schools. However, the abstract does not specify the geographic context of the study, so UK-specific evidence on implementation feasibility or policy alignment cannot be inferred.
Key measures
Framework components for SEL implementation; qualitative operationalisation through SEE Learning programme co-development
Outcomes reported
