Module 10 - Managing Stress and Anxiety

Special School Think Good, Feel Good with the
Secondary (GLD) school counsellor.
Aged 11-16 yrs

We approached this module in many ways.
There were group and individual sessions
with the school counsellor who taught the
students about the power of negative and
positive thoughts. He also taught them some
calming techniques. Some groups tried yoga
and meditation. There is a weekly challenge
to practise mindfulness with different targets
each week. Some groups relaxed through
expressing emotions via artwork. Others
preferred exercise and walking in nature to
relax and we created some mini zen gardens
for students to practice being peaceful and Trying yoga positions
quiet.
