Managing Stress

Worksheet Description

The “Managing Stress” Life Skills worksheet is a comprehensive tool designed to help students recognize, understand, and cope with stress. It provides a structured format for students to identify and reflect on the signs of stress they experience and to pinpoint the sources contributing to their stress. By acknowledging these elements, the worksheet assists students in developing a personal awareness of their emotional state.

The worksheet encourages students to articulate what actions they need to take to address the stress and to list the resources they have available for support, such as family, friends, teachers, or counselors. This encourages a proactive approach to seeking help and utilizing available support networks. Furthermore, students are prompted to explain why the situation feels stressful, allowing for emotional expression and self-exploration. The final section is dedicated to outlining coping strategies, where students can write down various techniques or activities that help them manage stress, such as exercise, talking to someone, or practicing relaxation methods. Through this exercise, students learn valuable self-regulation skills that are crucial for maintaining mental health and well-being.
