In order to prevent junior high school students from becoming school non-attendees, nine sessions of the Social and Emotional Learning of 8 Abilities at School (SEL-8S) program were conducted over an eight-month period for all seventh- to eleventh-grade students in a school to improve their social skills. Students who had been absent from school for 10 days or more in the previous year were identified as the students with the tendency of school non-attendance. Training sessions were held for teachers to learn how to implement the SEL-8S program and to utilize individual adaptation records of all students. The results showed that the attendance rate of the students with the tendency of school non-attendance improved and their psychological conditions appeared to be improved as well.
