Mindful Balance Lesson Plan

Introduce 7th grade students to DBT mindfulness and emotion regulation skills through guided practice and reflective journaling, aiming to equip them with at least one concrete coping strategy for managing intense emotions.

Many adolescents struggle with overwhelming emotions and lack tools for self-regulation. This session teaches evidence-based DBT techniques to foster self-awareness, reduce emotional reactivity, and build coping skills for stress and anxiety.
