The Choose Love Movement is a community-led movement offering free SELCD development to help people thoughtfully respond to any situation or circumstance. It has reached 2 million children in 10,000 schools in all 50 states and 111 countries.

Its signature program, Choose Love for Schools™, is a comprehensive, no cost, next-generation social and emotional learning (SEL) and character education program for Pre-K through 12th grades, designed to teach students, educators, and staff how to choose love in any circumstance thereby creating a safer, more connected school culture.

Choose Love Awareness Month brings attention to the importance of teaching children core competencies and skills, beyond academics, that can help them thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally. When students have Choose Love For Schools™ as part of their instruction you can expect them to have:
• Academic Success
• Positive Social Behavior
• Fewer Conduct Problems
• Less Emotional Distress

Aligned with CASEL, Common Core, and ASCA, Choose Love For Schools™ is also the first SEL program to fully incorporate state-of-the-art Character Social Emotional Development (CSED) model standards while incorporating neuroscience and positive psychology to teach mindfulness, character, and emotional intelligence. These essential life skills and tools make students better learners and happier, healthier, human beings.

“I believe our Choose Love message can help heal everyone suffering from anxiety and disconnection due to the turbulent times we’re facing. Our response is an action and the opposite of anxiety is action. So we can reduce our anxiety through our thoughtful response. Our guiding principle is that although we can't always control what happens to us, we can control how we respond and we can always respond by Choosing Love,” said Scarlett Lewis, Founder & Chief Movement Officer of the Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement. “Love is also connection; therefore, teaching emotional management, relationship skills, and thoughtfully responding with love is facilitating connection. CHOOSING LOVE IS A DIRECT PATH TO FLOURISHING AT ANY AGE!”

Lewis added, "We celebrate Choose Love and social and emotional learning all year long, but February has been officially designated Choose Love Awareness Month and we welcome everyone -- students, educators, families, and communities across the country and the world -- to learn and share the Choose Love message."
