Stress

Chiilin' Out (7-8th Grade)
Kathleen Mimande The purpose of the “Chillin’ Out” group is to educate students about the affects of stress and methods to help reduce their stress levels and negative consequences of stress. Students will learn and be able to explain the negative and positive effects of stress within group session activities by earning a grade of 85% or higher on an exam about the affects of stress by the end of group sessions. Group members will implement, practice and discuss coping skills. Group members will also improve their stress-related negative behavior by 30% as observed by teachers, administrators and parents by the end of the group sessions.
