Merrell's Strong Teens™ - Grades 9-12: A Social and Emotional Learning Curriculum - Softcover

"My colleagues and I have conducted several studies on the curricula in the Strong Kids series and have been impressed with how easily public school educators have been able to implement these with fidelity. We have also documented improvements in students (TM) internalizing symptoms (e.g., anxiety and depression) following implementation of Strong Kids, particularly for at-risk students. We look forward to using the updated curricula in future studies." --Paul Caldarella, PhD
