At URSTRONG, we look at social-emotional wellbeing
through the lens of friendship.

After researching all the wellbeing frameworks out there, like CASEL and PERMA, we identified the top 12 concepts that emerged from the science.

These 12 concepts are featured in our Friendship Journals, on our social media, in blog articles, and in our Resource Library for URSTRONG Schools.

Along with our fun lessons and bulletin board activities that centre on these concepts, our URSTRONG Schools often wrap around these themes for assemblies, parent nights, and in newsletters.

Here are the 12 themes by month:

  • January: FUN
  • February: SELF-COMPASSION
  • March: COURAGE
  • April: EMPATHY
  • May: DIVERSITY
  • June: TRUST
  • July: GRATITUDE
  • August: RESPECT
  • September: FORGIVENESS
  • October: HONESTY
  • November: KINDNESS
  • December: COMMUNITY
