This is a great resource for high school students dealing with stress. It has resources for students as well as those working with students. I found it helpful working one on one with students as well as group activities. There is a short quiz about what stresses them out and how they deal with it. Then the website gives personalized resources based on their answers. There is a focus on gratitude, mindfulness, guided imagery and balance. So many activities and worksheets are under each section. The mindfulness section has different recordings as well as reading prompts. One of my favorite ones is the gratitude section where there is a structured worksheet to write down 3 things someone is grateful for each day and different writing prompts as well. There are also videos that explain different topics and ways to handle stress from a high school student perspective. This website gives a great way to help facilitate conversations about stress and anxieties especially when students have a hard time verbalizing what would be helpful for them.
As school social workers, there is nothing like a collection of ideas and resources to add to our toolboxes! The school social work students at Dominican University will be sharing items of interest that they have found useful in practice. We hope this site continues to grow and we can share tips and resources for practice!
