Curriculum outline

  • Students explore how comparing themselves to others affects their confidence—and how to shift into self-compassion instead.

  • This session helps students examine how social media impacts their self-worth and peace of mind—and introduces strategies for healthier engagement.

  • Students learn to identify unhelpful thoughts, shift their perspective, and use mindfulness practices to stay grounded in the present.

  • Students uncover how judgment and gossip operate in peer culture—and how to step out of those cycles to build a more supportive environment.

  • Students practice listening, empathy, and support strategies to deepen friendships and strengthen classroom community.

  • This session helps students recognize the messages they absorb from media, culture, and relationships—and practice setting boundaries to protect their well-being.

  • In small groups, students design and lead mini-projects to spread positivity in their school or community, reinforcing what they’ve learned.

As a registered dietitian specializing in adolescent mental health, I’ve spent years walking alongside teens battling anxiety, body image issues, and disordered eating. Again and again, the patterns pointed back to middle school—when unspoken insecurities, social comparison, and inner criticism first took hold.

I created Your Body, Your Story because I believe in starting earlier, teaching emotional skills directly, and empowering students before they hit a crisis point. This course brings together clinical insight, prevention psychology, and heartfelt guidance—so students can navigate these years with more peace, confidence, and connection.

Your Body, Your Story isn’t just a lesson plan — it’s a prevention-first solution crafted by a registered dietitian with deep experience in adolescent mental health. Designed specifically for middle schoolers, this curriculum equips students with emotional tools—before struggles have a chance to take root.
