FRIENDS for Life - The FRIENDS program is a school-based early intervention and prevention program, proven to be effective in building resilience and reducing the risk of anxiety disorders in children. Designed for grades 4,5, and 7 students.
Anxiety is the most prevalent mental disorder experienced by children and youth. To arrange for a FRIENDS teacher training or to order your free classroom materials, contact Maria Degiovani: (250) 470- 250 979-0029 ex.101 or email mdegiova@sd23.bc.ca
Helping Schools is an online resource for educators who are committed to protecting students from harms related to substance use. The resource helps school professionals understand and address the factors that influence young people’s physical and mental health, including their choices and behaviours regarding alcohol and other drugs. Developed by CARBC, Helping Schools embraces drug education as a means of promoting health rather than a means of warning youth to avoid using drugs.
iMinds – An evidence-based health education resource for BC schools
iMinds helps young people in Grades 6 to 10 maximize their mental health and social-emotional literacy — the knowledge and skills they need to achieve well-being and avoid lifestyle-induced chronic illnesses. Students get a better understanding of health – health of the mind, body and spirit – and a new appreciation for health as a fundamental resource for everyday life. Visit www.iminds.ca.
All materials are available free of charge and include:
- lesson plans for Grades 6-10
- teacher’s guide
- photo masters
- evaluation rubrics
Interested in a ProD session on iMinds? CARBC provides training at no cost. For more information, contact Cindy Andrew, Helping Schools Program Consultant, at ciandrew@uvic.ca.
