A new free mental health program equipping students with coping tools while strengthening school culture

By Catherine Patterson-Sterling, PhD, RCC

The mental health struggles students bring with them each day do not just affect their own learning, and instead, ripple through classrooms by shaping school culture, impacting teacher stress, and influencing the overall wellbeing of the entire school community.

We all know academics matter, but it is the soft skills like resilience, focus, and self-management that truly shape whether students thrive in and beyond the classroom.

Now there is an innovative way to help set students up for success by equipping them with essential soft skills that not only support their academic growth but also prepare them for life beyond the classroom. These skills include learning how to fully engage in their studies with focus and persistence, building resiliency to bounce back from setbacks, and developing the confidence to lean into challenges rather than shy away from them. Students will also strengthen their ability to manage screen time and digital overload in healthy, balanced ways, while practicing future-oriented planning that encourages goal-setting, decision-making, and self-advocacy.

A New Way To Address Age-Old Issues

Engage your entire school in a positive reinforcement and resiliency intervention that supports mental health with the citizenship points passport program.

Help set students up for success with the soft skills they need to engage in their studies, enhance resiliency, lean into challenges, manage screen time overload, and participate in future planning. 

With the Citizenship Passport Points School Wide Positive Mental Health Program, students have a passport they stamp after completed assignments, missions, or activities in which they receive a passport stamp with citizenship points. 

Students can redeem these points in for prizes, awards or even as bragging rights on part of their resume or scholarship applications. 

Help your school manage screen time distraction overload, refocus, and step into larger planning for success in life with the positive mental health engagement with citizenship points. 

Students can even start earning citizenship passport points by completing these programs available now with FREE Teacher Copies Available-  

There is the opportunity to help students collect points around your school by fulfilling different missions that teachers stamp with completion into student passports throughout the year.

Turn your school into a forward-thinking, citizenship-based school that gives students strategies for building community as well as strengthening mental health.

Build skills, complete missions, and engage the entire school towards a positive focus with the tools prepared to help set you up for success.
