Class experience
In this ongoing class, students will learn a variety of mindfulness coping tools to help manage strong emotions like anger, sadness, anxiety, grief, and other emotions.

I have a Master's degree in Social Work, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I also have a school social worker license. I worked in an elementary school for 3 years as a mental health counselor, and I also love teaching kids on Outschool. I have been educating children about mental health, mindfulness, coping tools, and emotions for over four years. I love helping kids feel empowered to learn ways to feel better and manage their emotions!
In some classes, (week 1, week 2, week 4, and week 9) students will be asked to color a picture, so they will need paper and things to color with. If they do not have access to these supplies, they can explain instead of drawing. In the other classes, students will not need any materials.
I will be showing an image of the brain with different parts (Amygdala, Hippocampus, and Pre-Frontal Cortex) highlighted. In this class, students will be encouraged to talk about the coping tools they like. I will always try to steer the class discussions towards the coping tools, and not events or situations where coping tools are needed. This class is not meant to be a group therapy, so we will not focus on talking about difficult situations, but we will focus on teaching and practicing different coping strategies.
