| Summary: | This article portrays the ongoing and ever-expanding journey of the Center for Research
and Practice of School Psychology (CRPSP) of the National and Kapodistrian University
of Athens. Based on an integrative approach to school community well-being that
includes positive psychology perspectives and systems interventions, all activities of the
Center focus on a social and emotional learning (SEL) framework that emphasizes
strengths and contextual protective factors for members of the school community and
other educational settings. Special attention is given to the implementation of SEL
prevention programs in times of crisis and economic recession. Furthermore, the
incorporation of SEL framework into the general education curriculum as well as in the
preparation of psychologists and teachers at undergraduate and graduate level is
presented. The role of SEL in building evidence-based interventions is discussed under
the scope of multicultural and transnational considerations.
