Lesson Plan

Freshman Fear Fighters Lesson Plan

Students will recognize and share common high-school fears, explore underlying beliefs through group activities, practice evidence-based coping techniques in stations and games, and verbally plan when to use their chosen strategies.

Interactive games and peer discussions boost engagement, normalize fears, and build social support, making coping strategies more memorable and actionable.
