Our Story:
Since 2008, Reflections Publishing LLC has continued its dedication to create health and well-being intervention curricula and resources. These
effective game-changing tools enable educators
to identify at-risk students and directly contribute
to improving students’ short- and long-term
well-being outcomes.
To address the youth mental health crisis, Reflections Publishing LLC created The Resilience Game Plan: The Neuroscience Playbook for Developing Social, Emotional, Cognitive, and Biological Life Skills. This Harvard-developed, evidence-based intervention curriculum program teaches social, emotional, cognitive, and biological self-regulation skills to students, educators, medical personnel, and families. Additionally, our University of Oxford-created professional development training equips facilitators with the needed tips and tools to confidently identify at-risk adolescents and emerging young adults.

Reflections Publishing LLC is also invested in teacher well-being and resilience training, as the teachers' well-being is known to directly impact classroom productivity and effectiveness, along with student well-being (attendance, behavior, engagement, health, and academic success).

The Resilience Game Plan provides a blueprint for therapists to work one-on-one with patients to quickly assess and meet clients where they are in their mental health journey.
For Parents/Caregivers:
The Resilience Game Plan provides
a roadmap for parents/caregivers/guardians

by learning cognitive, communication, and mindfulness skills right along with their children.
Students Create a “Personalized Game Plan”
Life happens and when we hit bumps in the road, we all feel better when we have a game plan to help navigate our lives through any difficult life scenario. When tough situations happen, students get to feel their emotions and be upset; however, the end goal is for them to always be moving forward with a growth mindset and not to get stuck in any situation.
In The Resilience Game Plan (The RGP), when a difficult life situation hits, students train their brains to:
- Acknowledge the life situation and process any emotions;
- Give themselves permission to feel the way they feel—describing their feelings of anxiety or distress; and
- Always keep moving forward—what steps are they going to take to overcome their feared or difficult situation?
In The RGP “What’s Your Game Plan” section, students will find many different life topics they may encounter during their lifetime. In order to successfully incorporate these concepts into their life, they need to turn these strategies into automatic habits. Thus, students learn to train their brains to identify a situation and quickly process and move through any difficult life situation.
In The RGP, students will incorporate these three concepts to tackle life situations with the following Seven Success Strategies:
- Strategy #1: Read and Comprehend 4114U (Informational) pages - Complete the 3 C’s activity and apply growth mindset.
- Strategy #2: Understand Brain Power - See where and how this situation affects their brain.
- Strategy #3: Master Cognitive Skills - Identify thoughts, rate feelings, and the steps to overcome their obstacle.
- Strategy #4: Strengthen Communication Skills - Gain interpersonal techniques to improve their relationships.
- Strategy #5: Learn Mindfulness Skills - Learn emotional self-regulation tools to help process their feelings.
- Strategy #6: Develop New Habits - Implement the “Habit Tracker’s“ daily healthy habits.
- Strategy #7: Set Goals and Reduce Anxiety - Set daily goals using the “Anxiety-Buster To-Do List.”

Does Your School have a Plan to Identify At-Risk Students?
The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force recently issued an alert:
- Indicating screening for depression and suicide risk is essential for the 12- to 18-years-old age group and
- Identifying schools as the best channel to reach all students.
Research has shown that if mental health issues are not resolved and left untreated in adolescents, then the trajectory of a child’s brain development is altered; hence, this is a crucial time to identify at-risk youth and implement intervention strategies and hope for reversal of psychiatric symptoms. Since educators spend numerous hours with their students and most mental health disorders are often triggered during the puberty years, schools are in the best position to help identify at-risk youth and implement prevention and intervention techniques for early detection—potentially reversing any psychiatric symptoms. Additionally, school-based programs continue to be the channel showing the most promise and significant results in reaching the majority of adolescents while also identifying mental health disorders. Schools have the ability to focus on identifying at-risk youth while also adding social validity. Social validity is deemed a crucial key to the puzzle because for a school-based program to succeed, the surrounding community needs to place a value on the program’s recommended goals, methods, and outcomes. By supporting the feasibility, acceptability, and implementation of The Resilience Game Plan intervention program, adolescents through young adults can experience long-term well-being sustainability.

Rave Reviews from Educators:
“I used The Resilience Game Plan every day with my students. When we completed this intervention curriculum, my students didn’t want to stop and were asking for more lessons. I experienced major breakthroughs with my students as The Resilience Game Plan provided a safe space for them to feel seen, heard, valued, respected, supported, and inspired to go to school. I would encourage all schools to use The Resilience Game Plan, as it is not a typical SEL program, as the program teaches four, crucial self-regulation life skills: Social, Emotional, Cognitive, and Biological. The Resilience Game Plan truly works to build a positive and caring school climate with empowered educators, supportive caregivers, and motivated students who are equipped with life skills to navigate any difficult life situation.”
Sharon Turner, M.A.Ed., Educator, Compton Unified School District, Compton, California
“Students are coming to our classrooms with more anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation than ever before. The rise in case is staggering and can cause life-altering or life-ending decision-making. The Resilience Game Plan (The RGP) should be an essential curricular resource in every school to help students change the trajectory of their mental health. By providing students an understanding of the brain, the importance of communication, and ways to develop new, valuable habits, The RGP supports students and the opportunity to navigate life successfully.”
- Kristen R. Bilkey, Ed.S.., M.S.Ed., Superintendent, Northwestern School Corporation, Kokomo, Indiana
“These are valuable information and exercises for not only adolescents, but just as importantly, for all adults who desire to become thriving individuals. Certainly, I recommend this curriculum for high school Life Studies/Advisory or even Diversity classes. These experiential activities allow us to see the diversity we all own as human beings, which may or may not depend on our ethnicity, race, or socio-economic status. I highly recommend that this curriculum be a part of all of our lives. We all need a game plan.”
- Dr. Randolph Ward, Ed.D., retired San Diego County Superintendent of Schools, Executive Director of Teaching for America
“The author of The Resilience Game Plan (The RGP) provides a compassionate workbook that tweens and teens will find helpful and fun to use. In an honest fashion, students are told life is not always easy, and they need a game plan to help them cope. The RGP
is a well-thought-out playbook that provides adolescents common sense life skills they will use for the rest of their life.”
- Paula A. Yohe, B.S.Ed., M.A.Ed., M.L.I.S., Director of Technology and Information Systems, Dillon School District IV, South Carolina
“The Resilience Game Plan (The RGP) is a key intervention tool administrators should implement in all 7th-12th grade homeroom
or advisory classrooms. It includes ‘Key Takeways’ to ensure students learn the crucial concepts. Also, learning about the brain and cognitive, communication, and mindfulness skills is extremely beneficial. Educators and administrators will find they will benefit emotionally right along with their students. The RGP comes with a facilitator’s guide to help support educators in using this workbook and identify at-risk students to help end self-harm cases in our schools. The RGP is backed by over 300 evidenced-based research articles, providing the most pertinent advice to best support educators and students.”
- Andrea Clark, M.A.Ed.: Administration, San Dieguito Union High School District, California
