Every week, the counselor's office posts a topic in the students' Google Classrooms. Each topic has a short statement, a quote, and an applicable video.
Weekly Lesson: Intention Setting
Reflection: What went well last semester, and what one thing would you like to try this next semester?
Instead of resolutions, set one intention (how you want to be) for the month. Small intentions beat big pressure.
Quotes: “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” — Arthur Ashe
Weekly Lesson: Decision-Making & Problem Solving
Sometimes in life, there are so many decisions.
Use the STOP method: Stop, Think, Options, Pick one. Try it with a small decision this week.
Quote “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.” — Theodore Roosevelt
Weekly Lesson: Conflict Resolution
When conflict happens, try calming down, listening, restating, and suggesting a solution. Try this framework once this week.
Quote: “Peace is not absence of conflict, but the ability to handle it.” — Unknown
Weekly Lesson: Self-Talk and Compassion
Be gentle with yourself. Notice self-critical thoughts and rephrase them like you would talk to a friend.
Quote: "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think".
