Lesson Plan

Taming Inner Chaos Lesson Plan

Students will externalize and explore feelings of “inner chaos” through guided art and mindfulness, then reflect on and share emotion-regulation strategies, building self-awareness and resilience.

Helping students identify and process overwhelming emotions reduces stress and supports mental health. Integrating ACT and art therapy offers creative, stigma-free tools for emotional regulation that benefit well-being and classroom climate.
