Stress Busters Lesson Plan

Students will pinpoint personal stressors, practice diverse coping techniques, and collaboratively design a personalized stress-management plan through eight small-group sessions rich in visual supports.

Removing slide-dependency, this format leverages printed infographics, flowcharts, posters, and jigsaw activities to deepen engagement and build lasting stress-management skills in a supportive Tier-2 group.
