FRIENDS FOR LIFE

The Friends for Life 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.

 

Helping Schools

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

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.

All materials are free of charge and include:

  • lesson plans fro Grades 6-10

  • teacher's guide

  • photo master

  • evaluation rubrics
