Mental Health Curriculum for Children

A Workbook for Children Ages 7-13

"Building Resilience to Depression and Anxiety"

It is with passion that Diana has produced this first children’s workbook, Making Sense of Me. Diana believes that everyone experiences depression and anxiety at some point in life. She says, “It is increasingly apparent that we as a society must do something to enable children to have a voice, to teach them to identify their emotions and to build resiliency in being overcomers.”

A Mastering Mental Health Curriculum

"We are currently working on Awesome Blossom lesson. I actually had a student who had a parent passed away that we didn't confirm before and he had a little bit of a breakthrough one day with everyone. When we talked about imagination we talked about how he can help us have empathy for other people and he started crying. All of my kids gathered around and gave him hugs and told him they were sorry to hear about his dad. Before that day he really wasn't doing very much classwork and he was behind in all of his classes. A week after that all of his classwork was caught up and he was on track and very proud of himself. I know that might not of been the goal of the program but it's definitely made a difference for at least one of my students. They all really look forward to our lessons and activities. Thanks for sharing this program with us." –Intermedidate School Teacher, WV
