Here you'll find a guide How to get the best from the SEAL Community: for ELSAs and TIS practitioners. It  shows you how to find the resources you need on the SEAL website, and has links to resources that have proved particularly useful and popular – like assessment tools, and resources for work on anger. There’s also a reminder about the videos on our You Tube channel, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3yfDKlyHojJnPLz_gZ48nlAfUA4_bU_c  , that cover specific topics for working with individuals or small groups (e.g. getting on with others, anger, conflict management, bereavement, change, setting goals, building resilience, self-esteem, going to secondary school etc.). Inspiration for teachers, too,  and loads of examples, video clips etc.
