Hope Rising has announced an update to its high school SEL curriculum to foster optimal mental health and wellbeing in the aftermath of the pandemic. The resource empowers educators to create engaging activities that promote resilience, empathy, and optimal relationship- and community-building skills.

The announcement comes as recent figures show that the pandemic has taken a substantial toll on the mental health of students and educators throughout the US. A Unite Students study shows that 77% of students reported mental health and wellbeing issues associated with Covid-19, and almost 60% reported difficulties making friends.
“In increasing numbers, educators in classrooms nationwide are seeing more and more children exposed to adversity, stress, and trauma,” says Hope Rising CEO Rocky Malloy. “The impact of this trauma on the learning environment is felt throughout the hallways of schools as students struggle with academic performance, disruptive behaviors, and emotional insecurity.”
“Teachers, counselors, and administrators are asking for strategies to better support students exposed to high levels of stress and trauma. It is essential to equip teachers with the proper tools to mitigate the trauma and help their students thrive,” he added.
The new curriculum by Hope Rising is based on the “My Best Me” approach, with a particular focus on building resilience through the development of emotional empathy, responsibility, and positive relationships. The five core competencies – Identity, Health, Community, Environment, and Economy – enable students to both improve their socio-emotional skills and understand the powerful impact of their mental attitude in avoiding pandemic-related stress and trauma.
“My Best Me” is an evidence-based approach to SEL which has been proven to improve a variety of academic and non-academic outcomes, including a 68% reduction in suspensions and expulsions, 81% fewer dropouts, and a 44% reduction in chronic absenteeism.
With the latest announcement, Hope Rising continues to innovate SEL curriculum by adapting its educational resources to the needs of modern students and educators across the US.
