Bringing Mental Health to Schools

The curriculum resource (the Guide) was developed for use in junior high and secondary schools. It has been used successfully in whole or in part as a resource for students in grades 7 to 12 in many different countries. It is designed to be applied as a six-module component delivered over a specific period of time (typically 4-6 weeks). 

Schools decide in which classes, how, and by whom the material is best applied. It has been applied with positive impact using a variety of different approaches and in various types of classes (for example: Health; Personal Development: Physical Education; etc.), but it is ultimately up to each school to determine how it can best be used. 

The Guide is designed to be flexible in delivery and to be responsive to the needs and realities of the school setting. Because the core of this approach is fidelity of content delivered by teachers trained in the application of the Guide materials, it does not require fidelity of delivery nor does it require specific teacher designations (such as PhysEd or Health) for its delivery – thus its flexibility. 

There is a fee of $20.00 Canadian in order to register for this course. Upon completion of the course, a certificate of completion is awarded.
