Brave the Waves

The Brave The Waves Teacher’s Manual

Brave The Waves – A Program for Building Resiliency is the result of a collaboration between Sharon Neiss-Arbess, social workers, educators, and psychologists and was formally written by Ms. Deborah Rogers, B.Ed, M.A. It is ideal for the middle school classroom.

The manual was written to support the Government of Ontario’s Open Minds, Healthy Minds initiative (2011), covers several Ontario Curriculum requirements, and is extremely user-friendly for teachers and camp staff. Each lesson presents excerpts and activities that address the most complex challenges teens and middle schools are facing today: bullying and mental health. It is a series of 10 interactive lessons that use engaging topics to promote discussions related to the book and relevant issues for middle school-aged kids. Presently our program is being used in over 10 schools within the GTA and various community organizations across the city.

We also write curriculum and develop educational programs that focus on social emotional learning!
