Social-Emotional Learning Tools for Real Classrooms

Francesca partners with schools and districts to support student mental health with her workbooks, board game, and curriculum development. Her materials are grounded in lived experience and evidence-informed practices.

Whether you’re strengthening your SEL programming, supporting student well-being, or looking for tools your counseling team can actually use to guide and structure sessions, these resources are designed to meet students where they are.

The Emotional Wellness Curriculum (K-12)

The Emotional Wellness Curriculum by Francesca Reicherter (K-12) is being developed as a K–12 mental health and emotional wellness curriculum, with one workbook and one children’s book released annually

Expected full series completion: 2029

Rather than waiting until the curriculum is complete, schools are already implementing individual workbooks and the present series, primarily within counseling services, small groups, and support programs.

This allows schools to:

  • Begin supporting students now

  • Implement materials flexibly

  • Grow alongside the curriculum as it expands

The following books are currently available. The listed grade levels are a recommendation as skills build when used in order; however, workbooks are flexible throughout the different grades.

Elementary (K–2)

  • Welcome to the Sky, My Beautiful Butterfly

    • A children’s book teaching positive self-talk through affirmations. The story is a lesson on the power of self-love.

  • You Will Bloom Again (coming September 2026)

    • A children’s book introducing mindfulness through gratitude and presence practices. The story is a reminder to keep going even when you feel scared.

Upper Elementary

  • Grade 3: How Are You?

    • A journal style that supports emotional check-ins, feeling identification, and early self-reflection. Each section ends with a prompt to encourage yourself with kindness each day.

  • Grade 5: You Are Not Alone

    • A workbook introducing the basics of resiliency skills. It covers positive self-talk, how to have a check-in conversation with someone else, coping skills, and different ways to express your emotions. It ends with an emotional wellness toolbox to refer back to when feeling overwhelmed and in need of coping tools. It has a conversation guide to bridge the communication gap between caregivers and students.

Middle School

  • Grade 6: I Am

    • A workbook helping students learn more about who they are, how they are feeling, and what type of support they need. It ends with a fill-in script that guides a conversation to reach out for the support they need.

  • Grade 7: Your Thoughts Matter

    • A journal-style workbook that supports thought reframing by identifying negative thoughts, their origins, validity, and intention. Each section ends with rewriting a discouraging thought into encouragement based on the intention.

  • Grade 8: Setting Boundaries

    • A workbook expanding boundaries across 8 categories: communication, digital, emotional, environmental, mental, physical, spiritual, and time. The book differentiates internal and external boundaries between the categories. It teaches students how to identify, vocalize, and enforce boundaries to create healthy and supportive relationships with themselves and others.

High School

  • Grade 10: Self Care

    • A workbook introducing intentional self-care practices that the students can implement into their routine to support their needs across four dimensions: emotional, physical, social, and spiritual. It helps students identify what they need, what practices will best support their needs, and where they can reasonably add time into their schedules to feel nourished, not pressured by the practices for long-term sustainability.

  • Grade 11: Set Goals That Last

    • A workbook redefining how we approach goal-setting. It walks you through your values, focusing on why this matters. What is your motivation, differentiating internal and external? Then, it covers long- and short-term goals, behaviors, habits, and openness to shift in the process. The book teaches students how to approach goals with fulfillment.

Additional books and workbooks are in development and released annually.

Pieces of You: The Reflection Game

The Classroom Edition was built to bridge the gap from what we learn in the classroom to how we can apply it in life after. From goal-setting to encouragement cards, every part of the game creates space for students to feel heard, supported, and confident in themselves.

Curriculum Consulting & Professional Support

In addition to workbook development, Francesca offers the following add-on services to support implementation:

  • SEL / Curriculum Plan Review & Redesign: Review your existing framework and determine where and which resource(s) can be integrated to strengthen SEL and/or mental health education.

  • Staff Training: Training counselors, educators, and support staff on different ways to use the resource(s) effectively and confidently with students.
