School Counselors recently met with every Junior Theology class to deliver the first of six lessons on how to deal with setbacks and challenges in life. Module 1 focused on The Foundation of Mental Wellness providing scriptural application, basic elements, the particular viewpoint of the individual, and protective factors instilled through learning.
The Resilience Project which is part of the WLHS School Wellness Plan is offered in partnership with Christian Family Solutions who has developed the six part series to assist WELS High Schools. If you would like to learn more, click here or reach out to your child's school counselor.
About The Resilience Project
Mission: Empower high schools to embrace mental wellness education as part of a curriculum for all students.
Vision: Based on Philippians 4:4-9: “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, foreseen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.” This program will seek to teach the game-changing grace of God based on the solid footing of practical resilience skills.
Purpose: To equip students to be resilient, using a system of tools and strategies that are simple to understand and implement.
