Wellbeing Year 12 Sixth Form Stress Anxiety Management Induction

(0)
<p>In 60 minutes we will cover the topic of stress and the new stresses of sixth form in particular.</p> <p>This resource is intended as an induction session for new Year 12 students - getting them to think about the new stresses that might come their way as sixth form students. But rather than focus on MINDFULNESS as a solution to stress, I have focussed on AGENCY and SELF|-MANAGEMENT. I believe Year 12 need to be helped to self-manage from day one and thereby balance out stressors with the resources to manage them. Mindfulness is important, but getting the message of ‘self management’ across is crucial if students are to be helped to manage the stress of A Levels.</p> <p>There is a FULL script beaneath each slide and a worksheet.</p> <p>The file has 2 videos embedded and is consequently 120MB. No additional preparation is needed. I am a former assistant headteacher and head of sixth form but also trained counsellor. I currently work in a faith-based setting but there is nothing faith-based about this resource.</p> <p>Topics Covered:</p> <p>What is stress? (with short video)<br /> What makes us stressed?<br /> What are the signs of stress? (with short video and Task)<br /> What new stresses might come our way in sixth form? (with script)<br /> How can we manage those stresses? activity)<br /> How can we develop agency and improve self-management?<br /> Self Management Story - classic Rick, Pebbles Sand with reflective task<br /> Video of Student talking about self-management (Year 12 focus but applies equally to Year 13, Rosie reflects on what she got wrong in her Year 12)<br /> Example scenario (if you have time)</p>
