THE HAPPINESS PROJECT GUIDEBOOK FOR SCHOOLS

 

Project Director: Sue Stephenson, CLL-E, Brampton, Ontario, Canada

 

Purpose: This project involves the creation of a Guidebook and accompanying video files to assist teachers and principals in starting a Happiness Project for their school. It is based on a highly successful two-year project in Toronto, Canada that I have led that we want to share more widely across Canada, the United States and internationally with a mental health and well-being focus. It was featured on the Canadian National TV station CSC. The second year the project involved two professional comedians who had graduated from a local Community College School of Comedy, the four teachers, and myself along with the resources in my book Kidding Around: Connecting Kids to Happiness, Laughter and Humour.
