New Resource! Elementary Mental Health and Prevention: Small Group Lessons
Developed in partnership with educators from around the state to meet the social-emotional needs of Oregon’s elementary students. These Mental Health Units were designed to target Tier II students in upper elementary (grades 3-6). Each unit provides a scripted lesson series that include strategies, activities, and tools for students to apply both in and outside the school setting.
These resources are available to Oregon educators at no cost.
