Your Body, Your Story

An 8-session, prevention-focused SEL curriculum for middle school students (grades 7–8), created with two core goals:

  1. To help students build emotional resilience, confidence, healthy peer relationships, and media awareness before deeper mental health and body image struggles develop.

  2. To equip teachers with clear lesson plans, guided discussion prompts, and ready-to-use supportive materials for confident, effective implementation.

Middle school is where many lifelong struggles with confidence, body image, anxiety, social comparison, and peer pressure quietly begin.

Your Body, Your Story was created to help students build emotional resilience before those struggles deepen into mental health crises, chronic insecurity, or disordered eating patterns.

Designed for grades 7–8, this 8-session SEL curriculum gives students practical tools to navigate friendships, social media, self-worth, emotions, boundaries, and identity during one of the most formative stages of development.

Created by a Registered Dietitian specializing in adolescent mental health and eating disorder recovery, the program combines prevention psychology, emotional skill-building, and real-world relevance in a format students actually connect with.
