THE CONTENT
The Helium Project curriculum provides student ambassadors with an easy-to-use guide for implementing and overseeing the project throughout the school year. It includes all the materials required, as well as access to support. It is based on two tenets: all people need to be reminded of aspects of wellness they can control, and simple, accessible, consistent messaging works for behavioral change.

THE TIMELINE
We will keep you organized and on track!
We know students are busy, and the best way to stay on top of everything is to plan ahead and use available support. Together, we will plan out the school year, help you choose how many and which topics to highlight, when to present them, and will leave room for your own creativity and flexibility. You'll get reminders to help you complete the project in small bite-sized steps. Your enjoyment and gratification in spearheading the project is of the utmost importance to us. Avoiding stress and overwhelm is a priority.
