Purpose: The project's focus was to educate students on healthy life skills at Valley View Middle School, helping them cope more effectively with stress. Methodology: Personal stress plan topics were taught once a week in a classroom over a six-week time frame to 12 middle school students. Knowledge gain was assessed using a pre-and post-assessment consisting of 10 questions. Student learning and teaching were analyzed at the conclusion of each class for updates on future classes. Results: All participants showed a knowledge gain in the pre-and post-assessment results. Qualitative data showed that students were engaged in healthy life skills classes. Implications: Adolescents is a time of rapid growth and learning. Mental health is an essential part of adolescent development.
