Media and Mental Health Literacy
Learn how movies, shows, and social media portray anxiety and stress, and how to spot stigma, glamorization, and misinformation before it shapes what you think is normal.
Identity and Self-Concept
Characters and representation become a mirror for self-image and belonging, including how anxiety and stress can distort the way you see yourself and your place with other people.
Coping and Resilience
We break down how stress shows up in your thoughts, body, and behavior, then practice realistic coping strategies and build resilience skills you can use under pressure and after setbacks.
Relationships and Attachment
Use on-screen dynamics to understand boundaries and communication, plus how anxiety and stress can drive conflict, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, or shutdown.
Building a Personal Toolkit
Leave with a practical toolkit that combines clearer media interpretation with anxiety and stress coping options and a simple support plan for yourself or a friend.
Format and Implementation
The curriculum is designed to be delivered in a flexible workshop format lasting from 30 to 120 minutes total, depending on the setting and the number of modules selected. Sessions can be implemented as a single standalone workshop or as a short series, making it easy to integrate into student clubs, advisory periods, or full instructional class blocks without requiring major schedule changes. Facilitators can scale the session up for larger groups or keep it small for more discussion-heavy environments, and the structure supports quick piloting as well as repeat implementation across different classrooms or student groups.
Reach and Use
This curriculum has been implemented in school-based settings and is designed for straightforward adoption by student leaders, clubs, or educators. In practice, it works as a single-session introduction or a multi-module series, depending on the time available and the needs of the group. To date, delivery has reached 393 students through facilitated sessions. Although it was developed and piloted in Alabama, the structure is intentionally portable: the modules are designed to translate to any school or community context, anywhere, without relying on Alabama-specific programs, policies, or resources.
The Facilitation Toolkit is the plug-and-play guide that makes the Peer-Based Modular Curriculum easy to deliver consistently in clubs, advisory blocks, or full class periods. It includes session run-of-show options (30-120 minutes), scripts, activity prompts, safety and disclosure protocol, and module-by-module facilitation steps. Built for student facilitators and equally usable by adults.
