An introduction to emotional health – online

Live with LolaThis interdisciplinary course introduces students to their emotional selves in a fun and engaging talk show format called, "Live with Lola." Complete with commercials, top ten lists, book club recommendations and audience challenges, this course helps students in grades 6 through 8 learn how to manage their moods, regulate emotions and relieve stress and anger. With the help of Lola, Wes the science expert, and Dr. D master of emotions, students discover how their bodies generate their feelings and how those feelings, together with their thoughts and actions, cause their moods.

UR Brain Quest"Live with Lola" is just one of the tools used to keep students involved and learning. Large- and small-group activities provide students with opportunities to examine their emotional health and practice good mental health. By the end of the course students will be able to address the status of their mental and emotional health with the help of trusted adults and peers. Through video interviews, real teens share their experience and strategies for managing emotions. Students will come away with useful tools and techniques for dealing with emotions.

The program explains how:
  • The parts of the nervous system interact to cause feelings.
  • Students experience emotions both physically and mentally.
  • Feelings, thoughts and actions interact to cause moods.
  • Students can care for their emotional health.
  • To develop safe and healthy relationships with adults and peers.
