End your Mental Health unit on a high note with a choice project that lets students focus on a topic of their choice in a way that works for THEM and their learning style! This EDITABLE Mental Health Choice Board is all about options—students can explore their creativity through podcasts, PSAs, brochures, comics, and more. It’s designed to meet them where they’re at, whether they’re the quiet thinker who loves crafting thoughtful projects or the bold chatty student who’s ready to film a video about smashing mental health stigmas. With this project, students learn, create, and connect in a way that’s meaningful to them.
