Seven Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Hubs are housed within six Regional Offices of Education across the state and Chicago Public Schools.

- Schools and districts participating in the Resilience Supportive Schools Illinois (RSSI) Roadmap with leadership and coaching to create a trauma-focused action plan for their school.
