Currently We Are does not progress by grade level. The curriculum can be facilitated with a single grade level, for example a group of 8th graders or a mixed group of middle schoolers e.g., 6th and 7th graders. The lessons scaffold within the curriculum, and all the lessons are connected to build mental health literacy and advocacy skills.
If you want to continue your We Are program beyond the curriculum, we suggest implementing a We Are Active Minds Middle Schools Club. Remember, Clubs are a great way for youth who complete the curriculum to turn their newly acquired knowledge into action! A We Are Active Minds Club inspires youth to become mental health advocates for their great school community. Club members are often those who mobilize for change in practices and even policies that positively impact school mental health culture. Highly recommend!
Alternatively, if you cannot extend your curriculum into a club, your school/organization can facilitate the We Are curriculum with new and additional new groups of youth based on your school/organization/ facilitator capacity. When you choose curriculum or club, please feel free to contact us so we can assist you!
