LINDON CARES
COPING SKILLS: PREP FOR JUNIOR HIGH
Mental Health Crisis: There’s no question recent events taught us that we all need healthy outlets to manage stress. We all recognize the urgent need for teens to find solutions to regulate emotional needs. This class offers practical and effective coping strategies.
Recreational Therapy: A Certified Recreational Therapist Specialist (CTRS) will teach this class. Using evidence based practice, participants will learn to implement coping skills to use daily when feeling overwhelmed, find connection and trust in relationships, and explore meaningful ways to spend time.
GUIDING GOOD CHOISES WORKSHOP
Guiding Good Choices gives families information and tools that work to protect preteens and teens from the inevitable risks they encounter as they become more independent. Just as important, families will learn ways to build or maintain lasting relationships, because teenagers who are more closely connected to their families have better health and educational outcomes.
In five sessions, parents and caregivers learn specific actions that promote healthy development and reduce risky behavior in the teen years. Home practice and weekly family meetings build connections and help families apply skills in real life. Guiding Good Choices emphasizes strong family bonds that motivates preteens to follow guidelines and stay on a course toward better health and educational outcomes as teenagers.
