Coping Circle Lesson Plan

Students will identify stressors, explore coping skills in discussion and role-plays, and create a personalized plan to manage end-of-year stress.

By sharing experiences in a supportive circle and practicing strategies, students build resilience, reduce anxiety, and strengthen peer networks as they finish the school year.
