SEL Experiences & School Mental Health Partnership

Today’s students face anxiety, social pressure, identity challenges, and academic stress earlier than ever. My Mental Health Matters Too is a dynamic Social-Emotional Learning experience that equips students with practical tools to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.

School assemblies are led by Illinois-certified educator and author, Brittany Scott, creating an engaging foundation of emotional awareness, resilience, and coping skills for the entire student body.

Through New Life KNEW Solutions, schools can move beyond awareness into access with licensed mental health professionals on-site, providing structured, goal-focused, short-term support that complements existing counseling teams.

Together, educator-led prevention and therapist-supported intervention form a seamless mental health partnership, supporting students both school-wide and individually.

Assembly Options:

Depression & Mood Challenges | Anger & Conflict Resolution | Trauma & Safety Awareness | Identity & Self-Esteem | Social Skills & Relationships | Bullying & Cyber Safety | Grief & Loss | Substance Use & Peer Pressure | Emotional Regulation & Coping | Growth Mindset & Resilience

Students today face anxiety, social pressure, identity challenges, and academic stress. The My Mental Health Matters Initiative equips students with practical emotional skills through engaging SEL assemblies and workshops.

Assemblies are designed to build emotional awareness, resilience, and coping skills school-wide. Sessions can be offered as one-time events, quarterly, or as ongoing programs tailored to your school’s needs.
