   Despite these challenges, some schools in the US are implementing different kinds of CASEL programmes. One of these is called the Caring School Community. This tries to encourage a sense of belonging within the school by putting younger students with older ones. Yet, although there are people who believe that CASEL programmes are extremely beneficial, there are many who are not convinced that they actually work.
