Truth Hero | Mini Lesson | Creative Therapy Lesson | Reduce Lying

This is a fun, creative and engaging intervention for students to explore honesty and integrity and reinforce positive behaviours. This intervention is great for students who have difficulty with persistent lying. This intervention helps students to embrace honesty and integrity and project their internal beliefs, fears and values about themselves onto a truth hero that they create.

Within this intervention the truth hero is encouraged to play two truths and a lie so that they play intentional truth telling and lying. Reflecting on the positive impact of telling the truth including on building relationships and trust with friends is explored in creative ways.

Although this isn’t a directive/skills-based intervention, this mini-lesson has been successful at supporting students who have a history of lying.

This therapeutic intervention requires the therapist to be very curious and unconditionally accepting of the truth hero that the student creates and imagines.

Remember the vital role of empathy and at the end of the intervention thank the student for sharing what they would look like as a truth hero to support integration.

This resource works really well alongside the following resource: “Lying Monster - Mini Lesson - Creative Therapy Lesson Plan, Activity, Guidance” from All Therapy Resources.
