Bear Necessities

Bear Necessities Vision: 
To create a supportive and empowering environment where students develop resilience, build strong relationships, and enhance their emotional well-being. By leveraging the diverse strengths of individuals and the collective power of the community, the class aims to foster a culture of positivity, inclusivity, and proactive mental health. 

We will do this by...

• Incorporating elements of Top 20 Teens, Random Acts of Kindness, and Sources of Strength into our lessons
• Meeting as needed (not every week).
• Taking a strength-based approach and having student leadership groups plan, create, and/or deliver some of the lessons.
• Using SEL data to target needs and develop lessons to help teach “real-time” lessons and skills.
