NEW STUDENT ELEARNING
SELF-ACCEPTANCE ELEARNING PROGRAM

ACCEPTING MYSELF

HOW TO HELP YOUNG PEOPLE FEEL WORTHWHILE NO MATTER WHAT

developed by Professor Michael Bernard
with creative content by LMS developer, eCreators

Not a game, Accepting Myself, also known as self-acceptance, is an engaging, innovative social and emotional eLearning student intervention program where students learn a psychological superpower to feel worthwhile no matter what! For ages 9 -16+, this eLearning program incorporates the latest developments in online, interactive instructional technology.

Unfortunately, many young people have a well-developed tendency to take things personally – so much so that they lose sight of their positive features.

WHY STUDENTS NEED SELF-ACCEPTANCE

Without self-acceptance, students are extremely vulnerable to stress. As a result, they can experience intense anxiety, depression, anger, and under-achieve in their schoolwork.

PROGRAM BENEFITS

Students develop a capacity to change self-criticism to self-acceptance leading to greater self-awareness, self-worth, confidence, self-management, independence and resilience.
