Life can be overwhelming, anxiety invoking, and stressful. Sometimes we all need a healthy escape. This Virtual Calming Room was inspired by School Counselors and School Social Workers across the United States to help students locate tools and strategies to positively manage their emotions.

Students will create an artifat along with write a life reflection. They can choose how they would like to present to the class. 

This is a self reflection document to be used at any point during the year with your students - but used specfically during report card time or three-way conferences. It provides students in kid-friendly language a way of understanding the FASA conditions and how they are able to apply these to their own habits at school. It is a great tool to use and assess during parent, student, teacher conferences. Co-created by Kira Toews and Brenna Siroski

Ages: 8-12

Start a conversation with your students about mental health and how taking care of our minds is just as important as taking care of our bodies.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and it can be hard to work through difficult times. This Virtual Calming Room was designed to assist in identifying different strategies for managing emotions.
