The Eastern Ontario Catholic Curriculum Corporation agreed to help develop curriculum resources that promote mental health and well-being through classroom discussions and activities. The result was EOCCC’s 2013 publication of Mental Health and Wellness for Catholic Schools: Feelings, Emotions, Resilience and Dignity of the Whole Person, which includes lessons for grades 2, 5, & 7.  \nGiven the positive reception of that resource, EOCCC Catholic member Boards suggested that the document be enhanced to include lessons for all grades, from Kindergarten through 8.
