Integrating the Tool into
Different School Subjects
There are connections between our materials and the core content in several subjects. Therefore, the modules can be effectively used in subject teaching. In the guide below, you can see which module suits each subject best.
FAQ
How does a school get started?
To get a school or grade level started with the material, we recommend watching our three short startup videos. The program is designed for the video modules to be used during mentorship sessions at school, where the mentor facilitates discussions and exercises in the classroom. Short informational videos are available for mentors as preparation. Student health services, which have in-depth knowledge of the topics covered in the material, and mentors who will lead classroom discussions, play key roles in implementing the preventive program. Since these are complex issues that need to be worked on continuously, it is important to think and plan for the long term in terms of the program's implementation, even though the modules can also be used to inspire on individual occasions.
Do the questions align with any specific subject based on the core content of the curriculum?
The Modules The Healthy Mind Platter and Shape your Brain can be well connected to the core content within Physical Education and Health as well as Biology (LGR 22: Health and Lifestyle and Body and Health; GY11: Biology 2, Organism Function, Psychology 1, 2a, and 2b).
Take Control of Your Attention also fits well into Psychology at the high school level. The module Perform Without Anxiety also aligns with the core content for Physical Education and Health (LGR 22) regarding "Tension Regulation and Mental Training. The Modules Shape your Brain and Social Media and Gaming also contain elements from Social Studies (LGR 22: Social Studies Information and Communication, GY11: Social Studies 1a1, 1a2). For some modules, there are also in-depth exercises that fit well into the aforementioned subjects as well as Swedish, both in terms of reading and writing texts related to the modules. These exercises are available for free download in Learnworlds under the Lesson Materials tab. If you are a teacher and would like to contribute lesson plans related to these topics, please email us at info@artsandhearts.se.

What ages is the material suitable for?
The material is designed for middle and high school [secondary & upper secondary schools] but the mentor's/educator's judgment based on the class's needs and maturity level determines which modules to work with. The modules Take Control of Your Attention, Perform Without Anxiety, and The Healthy Mind Platter work well for all ages, while Shape Your Brain and Social Media and Gaming are slightly more advanced.
Is it possible to use the material for a theme day?
It works very well as building blocks during a theme day, where discussions can be developed and explored from different roles and responsibilities. The modules can also be used effectively during parent meetings to involve parents in these matters that concern the overall well-being of the student and their learning conditions.
Do the modules provide material for multiple occasions?
Each module is designed with material for approximately 3-4 sessions. The first lesson in each module fits into a mentor session of about 45-60 minutes, and the following sessions can be conducted in shorter durations if desired. These include videos with reviews and additional explanations, as well as supplementary materials and exercises. Remember that the learning tool is flexible and can be customized based on your own needs as an educator/mentor/student health professional.
Is there material aimed at parents or guardians?
Ja, varje modul har egna kortare filmklipp på ca 5 min riktat till viktiga vuxna om hur de kan stötta ungdomen hemifrån. Dessa filmer finns som en länk skolan kan skicka ut eller lägga på en digital skolplattform för vårdnadshavare att ta del av. De lämpar sig också väl att använda vid föräldramöten för att få igång engagemang för gemensamma förhållningsregler kring exempelvis läggtider eller digital balans hemma.
Is there research connected to the program?
The material is based on scientific research and facts and has been developed in collaboration with researchers at the Karolinska Institute, Sweden. It has also been reviewed by psychologists and counselors and comprehensively evaluated by students from six middle schools who have implemented the program together with their mentors and student health teams. Research is also being conducted in collaboration with the Karolinska Institute and RISE (Research Institute of Sweden) to assess the program's intervention and its effectiveness.
