Overview

“You can’t hire someone to practice for you.” – H. Jackson Brown, Jr. 

Forming habits, making lasting changes, and learning new skills all require practice. The Upper Elementary level of the GoEQ® curriculum builds on the principles already introduced at the Lower Elementary level and explores new principles that contribute to optimal mental health. The Upper Elementary level focuses on how to dispute cognitive distortions through practice with hypothetical situations. Students will become proficient at recognizing thoughts that need changing in everyday life and will learn a multitude of ways to make their thoughts true and helpful.
