Welcome the student to the Self-Care Strategies Overview. Explain that self-care spans multiple domains and we’ll explore examples in each. Encourage them to think about which resonate most.

Introduce physical self-care. Emphasize small, achievable activities. Ask the student which they already practice and which they’d like to try.

Discuss emotional self-care. Highlight how processing feelings supports stress management. Invite the student to share experiences with any of these practices.

Explain the importance of social connections. Encourage the student to consider their support network and how they can engage meaningfully.

Explore creative self-care. Stress that creative outlets can be calming and offer perspective. Ask which forms of expression they enjoy.

Guide the student to select 3–5 strategies across domains. Encourage them to note why each was chosen and any potential barriers.
