Eastern Ontario Curriculum put together a 118 page document that teaches Mental Health & Wellness for Catholic Schools: Feelings, Emotions, Resiliency and the Dignity of the Whole Person for grade 2, 5, and 7. What I appreciate about this resource is it will connect to curriculum, it promotes the Catholic teachings, and it is multi lessoned.

This book does not offer direct instructional activities but does provide strong current evidence based knowledge in teaching educators about trauma sensitive schools and what teacher and administrators can do to move towards a trauma sensitive school.
I have started to use some of Karen Wallace and Patrick Lewis suggestions already within my classroom; thus far primarily focussing on section 3 of the book, chapters 6-8 and implementing the mindfulness suggestions.
