Puebla implements ‘El ABC de las Emociones’ student wellbeing strategy

The Puebla State Secretariat of Public Education (SEP) is reinforcing the national strategy ‘El ABC de las Emociones’ to support the socio-emotional health of adolescents and young students in compulsory education schools.

Following initiatives announced by President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the program in Puebla includes reading activities and community engagement involving students, parents, teachers, and educational authorities. The goal is to identify unlearned behaviors, recognize emotions, and create spaces for dialogue and reflection.

The strategy is structured around three pillars: learning to recognize feelings, understanding the context of emotions, and taking action through practices such as setting boundaries, breathing, and seeking professional help when necessary. This effort, led by the government of Alejandro Armenta Mier, aims to promote healthy coexistence within and outside educational institutions.
