Scarlett Lewis 2019
After her six-year-old son Jesse was murdered during the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut December 2012, Scarlett Lewis decided to address the roots of the problem. She became an advocate for social and emotional learning (SEL) teaching children skills for managing emotions, feeling connected, and enjoying vibrant relationships. The result was the creation of the Choose Love Movement and a downloadable no-cost, comprehensive SEL program for all ages that empowers individuals to choose love in all circumstances. The Choose Love Enrichment Program has been implemented in all 50 US states and in nearly 90 countries.
