Health for Hope

hfh1We use wellness education to empower children to learn to make good decisions. Wellness education lessons will be age appropriate and will include sessions on effective communication, managing emotions, building self-esteem, appropriate conflict resolution techniques, ethical behavior and social etiquette, decision making about drugs, alcohol and tobacco and any other skills and topics that will effectively engender well-being, self-reliance and self-respect.

Additional lessons in interview-taking techniques, resume-building skills, workplace behavior and industry will be offered for older children nearing work age.

Sample lesson topics are outlined below:

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Expressing feelings, managing stress, self-control, goal setting, learning from mistakes, respecting differences, bullying, proper hygiene, making friends, relationships, character building, importance of being polite, making healthy food choices, tobacco/alcohol/other drugs, saying ‘no’ to drugs, stranger danger.
