If students share personal struggles, reassure them that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love them, and encourage them to seek counsel from parents, Church leaders, school counselors or other emotional health professionals. These activities use no scores and no shared free text; reflection stays on each student’s phone. The manual suggests teaching this near Lesson 108 (1 Corinthians 6). If body image concerns affect a student’s health or safety, encourage them to talk with a parent or trusted adult.

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”1 Corinthians 6:19
Ask: What is one thing your body lets you do that you’re grateful for?
Try: Try one care habit this week: sleep, movement, food, or kinder words to yourself.
