Assertive Communication, Active Listening and Boundaries

This ** 24 page workbook** introduces students to the elements of healthy communication, including:

• **Assertiveness
• Boundary setting and saying no
• Having difficult conversations
• Our primitive “lizard brain”
• Active listening
• Owning our own feelings**

It describes each topic in an easy-to-follow and engaging manner with small partner based and class discussion activities throughout.

It teaches coping techniques and also includes four bold posters which you can print and hang in class as reminders of these lessons.

The workbook can be printed and handed out to each student as is, or pick and choose the worksheets and areas you want to focus on. Each topic blends into the next which allows for them to be used as a series of lessons over the course of a few days or weeks. Most of the worksheets are print-and-go ready, although one listening and communication activity does involve having to print (and potentially laminate) the task cards in advance.

The download also includes a teacher’s copy which contains guiding notes on the kinds of answers and reactions to expect and how to lead the discussions.

Suitable for Secondary School age groups.
