Lesson Plan

Trigger Identification Plan

Students will identify personal emotional and situational triggers, recognize their physical and emotional signals, and develop a personalized Trigger-Response Checklist with positive coping strategies for proactive self-monitoring.

Recognizing triggers early builds self-awareness, reduces impulsive reactions, and fosters emotional regulation and resilience in everyday situations.
