Mental Health Resource Center
To support families and educators, the Michigan Learning Channel has compiled a comprehensive list of mental health, physical health, and family resources. Find videos that families and classrooms can use with students of all ages, or find your region below to see what else is available in your area.
I Feel
"I Feel" supports children ages 4–8 in building emotional awareness. In each segment, children name an emotion, and an expert defines it using simple, age-appropriate language.
POP Checks
Mindful practices for social-emotional learning are tools we can use when we need to PAUSE and take a breath; OWN what we are feeling; and PRACTICE a quick stretch or something that relaxes us.
Extra Credit: Let’s Talk Mental Health
Paige and Brooke discuss the importance of checking in, finding joy, and practicing self-care.
Mindfulness Moments
Take a brief break to breathe and check-in, calm your body, and guide your focus. Use our short mindful moments videos individually or with an entire classroom anytime it feels needed, or work it into a daily routine.
Mental Health Awareness LABS Project
Use media to give students the opportunity to explore their own mental health and learn about resources and ways to handle stress.
Free Writes
MLC’s Free Write videos are short, open-ended writing prompts that invite students to reflect on their experiences and school community.
