Activate Your Best Self® Grades 6 to 9 is a self-paced video experience that supports students as they build emotional awareness, confidence, and healthy relationships during a critical stage of development.
Built on the Activate Your Best Self® Developing Lens, this training and course is designed for students who are:
Learning to manage emotions
Navigating friendships and peer influence
Building self-confidence
Developing responsibility and decision-making skills
Beginning to explore who they are becoming
Through guided reflection, simple belief awareness activities, and practical real-life scenarios, students gain tools to better understand themselves and respond thoughtfully rather than reactively.
At My Best provides a safe, structured space for students to pause, reflect, and strengthen skills that support well-being, relationships, and personal growth now and as they continue into high school and beyond. Through guided reflection, simple practices, and real-life scenarios, students learn how emotions, beliefs, and experiences influence their choices and behaviors.
