Lesson Plan

Your Inner Ally Lesson Plan

Students will define self-compassion, explore its three components, and deepen understanding through a guided self-compassion video, then create a personal self-care plan to support kindness toward themselves during stress.

Integrating a short video demonstrates self-compassion in action, builds engagement, and provides a concrete example for students to analyze and apply in developing resilience.
