GiveThx
GiveThx is a digital program and research-validated curriculum that strengthens student mental health, belonging, and social-emotional skills through gratitude. Students send digital Thx notes to each other and to school staff. They recognize positive behaviors, learn about their strengths, and share appreciations - anywhere, anytime. Thank you notes are supported by GiveThx's curriculum and Practice Guide.
