Just Say No
Did you know that during the school year the average teen reports experiencing more stress than the average adult? The YSS Lesson Plan that corresponds with the Stress information on the website is your first step in helping teens to change their experience of stress. In it, your students will learn just what stress is and how it can impact their minds, bodies and brains. Begin reducing your students’ stress with this LP that increases their knowledge and their awareness of their personal stress triggers. (If time allows, continue to reduce stress with the Stress Reduction Lesson Plan which details several methods to beat stress.)
