Introduce the session deck and set the tone for exploring feelings about goodbyes. Emphasize that the session is about both understanding and finding healthy ways to cope.

Session 1: Discuss personal experiences and introduce a variety of emotions experienced during goodbyes. Use open-ended questions to get students thinking about why goodbyes can feel both sad and hopeful.

Present discussion prompts on the slide to help students articulate their feelings deeper. Encourage respectful listening.

Session 2: Start by briefly reviewing the previous session. Guide students to brainstorm healthy coping strategies for farewells and transitions; discuss realistic applications via role-play or group discussions.

Highlight examples of healthy strategies: reaching out to friends, journaling, mindfulness. Allow space for students to add their own ideas.

Session 3: Focus on reflection. Encourage students to write about their thoughts concerning recent goodbyes and envision a positive outlook for future transitions.

Provide closure to the lesson by summarizing key coping strategies and encouraging students to support one another beyond this classroom session.
