This chapter explains how awareness and sensitization of trauma-sensitive and diversity-inclusive learning spaces can be done with the framework of socioemotional learning (SEL). Drawing on my experience as a community psychologist working in low-income educational settings, the chapter describes how the SEL framework can be used to raise awareness and sensitize people about the importance of trauma-sensitive and diversity-inclusive learning environments. In the interest of promoting prosocial values like collective care, collaboration, empathy, equity, and resilience-building, this chapter makes the case for an intersectional approach to mental health awareness in education. It leverages a practice-based lens, talking about the lived experiences of teachers and students from a study center of a donation-based education society in a town in North India, explaining how language, sociocultural marginalization, and systemic neglect create emotional insecurity in classrooms. The process discussed involves the transformative potential of including mental health literacy in educational spaces. It is based on creating active engagement and co-creating the SEL curriculum, with the interventions being trauma-sensitive and culturally respectful.
