Lesson Plan

Mood Matters Lesson Plan

Students explore how mental health impacts their mood, emotions, behaviors, social interactions, and academic success; they will identify personal feelings and practice coping strategies using visual tools and worksheets.

Understanding these connections helps students develop self-awareness, regulate emotions, improve relationships, and support academic engagement. Early psychoeducation builds a foundation for effective treatment and daily coping.
