ABOUT OUR CURRICULUM

Teaching Hope Through Emotional Intelligence

The My Best Me curriculum contributes to the mental health and well-being of students while enhancing their social and emotional competencies. Our unique approach develops the psycho-social skills of students through age and grade appropriate strategies that will help build adaptive and positive behavior.

We do this through hope. Having hope — which can be learned — has proven to reduce the negative impact of toxic stress and build resilience against adverse childhood experiences.
