Programme 'Choose to Cope' (Anxiety Management)

'Choose to Cope'

Anxiety Management Programme

'Choose to Cope' is a fun, interactive and innovative way to tackle Anxiety & Worry issues for pupils in KS1 and KS2. 


'Choose to Cope' is an 8 session programme which is aimed at school children (ages 6 - 11 years) who may be experiencing a number of different issues at school and home,  tend to worry about issues that are out of his/her control (e.g. wars and bombs) and exhibit feeling sad and upset but are not sure why.  May exhibit signs of becoming paranoid about other people and what they might be thinking/saying about them.

Tend to find it hard to concentrate and can easily become distracted, fidgety or restless.  It is also a valuable programme for children who already have positive levels of anxiety skills to learn essential 'personal power' tools that they will be able to draw upon for their lifetime.

Through the use of games, exercises, craft activities, stories, songs and relaxation the children will join our character 'Attichooz' as she travels on the 'Inner Space' rocket so they can collectively visit the 8 planets to DISCOVER coping skills that they can apply to their own life.


They will all learn how to feel valued and value themselves on Planet 'Good Enough'.



Learn how to manage worries on Planet 'Storage' and talking about our anxiety issues on Planet 'Ears'.

By 'travelling' with our character 'Attichooz' the children take home 'reminders' on how to cope with stressful situations.

The sessions can be attended by any child and are designed to be an early intervention and /or preventative - giving them the coping skills so they are more prepared for life's challenges. Creating a whole school approach to mental health and a culture to promote well-being.


The 'Choose to Cope' Programme is designed to be 'self-trained' in the school environment in and around the facilitator's normal duties.  Plus the facilitator can deliver the programme as many times as the school requires with as many groups of children as necessary, and there is no need for anyone to keep looking for the right resources to use because we supply them all.  You just need to add some craft material and a large slice of enthusiasm!

 

The off-the-shelf  'Choose to Cope' Facilitators Box includes everything you need to begin the programme with comprehensive training modules and lesson plans.   Each training module is 3 to 4 pages long and is a concise training guide to all the elements of the programme.  The average study time for each module is 25-30 minutes and can be read as the programme is rolled out to the children (taking each step in bite-sized pieces). 


Each of the eight 'Choose to Cope' programme sessions has a full detailed lesson plan, and works towards a specific aim and a set of objectives.


As soon as you have ordered your Facilitator Box you can begin to feel proud of yourself, knowing that as a 'Choose to Cope' Facilitator you and 'Attichooz' have the privilege of working together to build children's' anxiety management!
