First Lessons in Coping with Stress: A Stress Reducing Programme for Older Secondary Pupils with Teacher Notes and CD Recording (Lucky Duck Books)

`This resource could be recommended to a teacher who is looking for plans for "first lessons in coping with stress." It would provide a useful starting-off-point and the photocopiable materials are clear' - Educational Psychology in Practice

Examinations, relationships, pressure of work and family changes, can all introduce high levels of stress for students reducing performance at crucial times. This CD and set of teacher notes provide a series of four lessons that support the teaching of stress management techniques. There are follow up activities and the programme can even become a life-long support for participants. Specific notes are included for examination stress.

The materials can be used as part of a PSCHE curriculum or during lunch-time for a self-referral group.
