Session 1 Lesson Plan

Students will learn the core principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, including the CBT triangle, and practice identifying thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in anxiety-provoking scenarios. By the end of the session, they will complete a thought record and engage in a quick skills game to reinforce learning.

Understanding CBT provides teens with tools to recognize and reframe anxious thoughts, reducing anxiety’s impact. This foundation empowers students to actively manage their mental health and supports resilience throughout the program.
