Wayfinder: a clear framework for mental health learning and wellness promotion in the classroom
Mental health lessons made easy
You no longer have to search our website for the appropriate resource – we’ve done that work for you! We’ve taken our library of resources and organized them for you in an easy-to-follow digital guide, organized by grade.
You’ll find core mental health lessons linked to HPE curriculum, complementary learning activities, and tools to support and consolidate learning.
An alternative to proprietary programs
If you’ve been looking for a sequenced guide on ways to incorporate mental health learning in your classroom, you’ve probably encountered packaged, proprietary mental health and social-emotional learning programs. Those can be costly and may or may not be ideal for Ontario learners.
Wayfinder features that same kind of learning, but you can have peace of mind knowing that the resources included have met the
SMH-ON standard:
- developed by Ontario educators and mental health professionals
- align with the Ontario curriculum
- are culturally responsive and identity-affirming
- accessible and bilingual
What’s included:
- a digital, clickable planner with 10 months of lessons and activities, and with easy-to-follow instructions
- virtual field trips, lesson plans, read
- grade-specific resources with versions from K-12
- ready-to-use communication materials to foster home-school connections
But wait – that’s not all!
When you sign up to receive the Wayfinder resources, you will be automatically added to our mailing list. We’ll send you tips, support, and new classroom resources. You’ll get to hear about some of the other things we’re working on that might help you.
