BASIC-SCHOOL EMOTIONAL WELLNESS CURRICULUM
Designed for young children at the beginning of their emotional-learning journey. The curriculum helps children begin to recognise, name and express big feelings in age-appropriate ways while building early emotional awareness, communication and healthy coping skills.

PRIMARY-SCHOOL CURRICULUM
Designed for primary-school children as their emotional and social worlds become more complex. The curriculum helps children better understand what may be happening inside them, develop emotional vocabulary, explore thoughts and feelings, strengthen coping and communication skills, and learn that mental-health conversations can be safe and normal.

HIGH-SCHOOL CURRICULUM
Designed for adolescents navigating the increasingly complex emotional, social and psychological realities of the teenage years. The curriculum creates space for young people to examine, name and navigate what is happening in their heads and lives, with culturally grounded conversations around mental health, coping, identity, relationships, stress, help-seeking and emotional wellbeing.
