This study is the formulation of a comprehensive mental health curriculum founded on bibliotherapy, specifically designed for junior high students. It addresses the surging mental health crisis among adolescents. The curriculum consists of a unit centered around Sabaa Tahir's All My Rage and a versatile curriculum guide adaptable to diverse literary works. The primary goal is to foster mental and emotional resilience, particularly among culturally diverse student populations. Development involved review by a mental health professional and a education expert resulting in finely tuned curriculum. Aligned with state education standards, the curriculum is tailored for an eighth-grade health class in Utah. The study concludes by underscoring the curriculum's pivotal role in providing essential mental health resources for junior high students. It urges educators to tailor the curriculum to meet the distinctive needs of their students, emphasizing its adaptability and potential for widespread impact on adolescent mental well-being. |
