Important information

This leaflet is meant to be used as part of ELSA Sessions or some other therapeutic session and shouldn’t just be given out to children without some input. They need to learn and understand about their worries and how to cope with being anxious by an adult. Please DO NOT just give these out without that important input. They are purely reminders for the pupil to take away.

It is your responsibility to decide whether the information in this leaflet will be helpful to your pupils.

Under our terms and conditions these leaflets must not be put onto school websites.

They are for printing and giving to pupils at the end of a session or you could use them as a basis for your sessions. You can work through each part with the pupil. You can practise some of the things on the leaflet such as 3 good things or gratitude.
