Give your students the tools they need to understand themselves, strengthen relationships, and build lifelong habits for well-being. This comprehensive unit takes big, often overwhelming topics in mental health and makes them approachable, engaging, and relevant for today’s tweens. 
 
This unit is geared for ages 9-12 as part of our new Wonder Years resource line. (If you’re looking for teen units check out Minds Matter and Intro to Anxiety). 
 
Each lesson includes:
 
Student Facing Reading:  No text books needed - each lesson includes a reading on the topic that is levelled for this age group. 
 
Activity: These are unique, creative and engaging. They’ll help students explore the concepts in the reading more thoroughly - and they’re fun!
 
Thoughts & Doodles Reflection: Reflection is a key part of learning. These mix writing and drawing to appeal to the age group and get them to practically apply their learning.
