Lesson plan grade 9-12
A mental health & well being lesson plan for grades 9-12 is provided. This lesson uses the concept of an ‘invisible sack’ to encourage students to pay attention to their own mental health and well-being and encourages a change in students’ attitudes and behaviours toward those living with mental health issues or illnesses. During this lesson, students will discuss mental illness, multiple ways of supporting others and of being accepting of everyone, and ways to reduce stereotypes and stigma. The lesson is built to be 30 minutes or longer, and requires canned goods (one per student).
