Welcome everyone to our Heart Healers session. Introduce yourself and briefly explain that today we will learn healthy ways to cope with feelings of grief. Keep your tone warm and inviting.

Read each objective aloud and check for understanding. Then establish group norms by asking students to suggest one additional rule if needed.

Guide students through the breathing exercise step by step. Model slow, calm breaths and remind them to focus on each inhale and exhale.

Hand out the Grief Reflection Worksheet. Encourage students to draw or write whatever comes to mind. Offer gentle prompts if someone is stuck.

Pair students and hand out one set of prompt cards to each pair. Circulate to model prompts like “I hear you” or “That sounds important.”

Show examples of simple shapes and symbols. Encourage creativity—there’s no right or wrong way to make a token.

Gather students in the Calm Corner space. Guide one final deep breath and invite each child to share a positive feeling before closing.
