What is the purpose of this project?
At Mental Health, we are developing a targeted Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)-Based Mental Health Curriculum for Lotus Petal Senior Secondary School in Gurgaon, India. Tailored specifically for 7th and 8th grade students, this project utilizes data-driven insights from needs-based assessments to create a curriculum that addresses both immediate and future mental health needs. By actively engaging students through surveys and ongoing assessments, we aim to continuously refine the curriculum, ensuring its effectiveness in promoting student well-being. This semester we hope to create more interactive content to include in our curriculum, increasing our engagement with the students while enhancing their connection to the material. ​
