Mental Health Lesson for Elementary Students

What does mental health mean? What is mental wellness? What helps and hurts our mental health? If these are important questions you want your students to understand the answers to, this mental health lesson for elementary students is what you need!

This lesson was created to help students understand the basics of mental health and mental wellness, including things that help vs. hurt our mental health and signs they need to ask for help. It does not explicitly teach about depression, anxiety, or other mental health disorders, nor is it about lessening mental health disorder stigmas. The focus is on providing students with developmentally appropriate information to help them take good care of their own mental health!

This resource includes:

• Slideshow presentation (in PowerPoint and Google Slides (TM) formats)
• Printable trifold worksheet for processing and self-awareness
• Interactive Google Slides (TM) for a digital reflection option

This resource was created to be used either for traditional online learning or in a virtual school setting. You can also deliver the lesson in person and have students complete the activities digitally!
