Top 5 Health & Wellbeing Resources for the Classroom

We know good mental health is as important as physical health. We also know that kids today are dealing with a lot of anxiety and stress. It often falls to teachers to provide a level of support to students who may be struggling, as well as equipping them with the skills and resilience to navigate the challenges they face.

Here are five of our favourite resources for fostering positive health and wellbeing in the classroom.

1. My Wellbeing Journals

My Wellbeing Journals are personal spaces for students to express their feelings, fears, goals, struggles and opinions without fear of judgement from others.

The journals are well-researched, easy-to-use student resources designed to assist in improving overall wellbeing in school-age children.

Accompanying Teacher’s Manuals provide background information on each topic as well as lesson plans and additional materials to aid in the teaching of wellbeing.
