Behind Happy Faces is a mental health curriculum that was designed to give students the tools they need to address their mental health. The program uses educational videos and lesson plans to enhance emotional development. Eighteen lessons help define mental health and break down the stigmas surrounding it; open doors for more vocabulary to discuss this issue with others; teach about effective coping; and learn ways to help friends who are experiencing mental health challenges. Each lesson includes videos, PowerPoint presentations, facilitation guides and handouts. You can access them by clicking on the individual lessons on the left side on this page.
