The journal was a great bonding experience as we did the activities and journal pages together. We learned things about each other and it opened up space for discussions.

I really enjoyed SHINE because it helped me during lockdown when I couldn't do anything or go anywhere. The exercises are so beneficial, and I always feel better about my day once I finish a page of my journal.

We were brought to tears of joy with her answers in the journal.

My class had the opportunity to use the SHINE Journals for one month. At the end of each day, the kids were able to reflect on their day and write about how they felt and things they were grateful for about the day. The kids especially enjoyed the various activities in the journal. I believe this journal really helped a lot of my students find joy in the simple things and learn to thing more positively, which in turn, helped them as we went along in the journal.

My experience was amazing, and I love it. I would do it over and over again
