Homework
Reflect
Allow a few days for students to reflect on control and sitting with change with their family. This can be done in their own time, through discussions or exploration.
Discuss and document
What works for family members to manage feelings of stress and uncertainty? Are there any cultural or gender differences?
These discussions can be an effective way to reduce stigma around anxiety and mental health, and support families to talk more about what can and can’t be controlled. It can also allow students to share their worries with parents and carers, siblings or other family members. Encourage students to make a list of ways to manage stress, and strategies to stay grounded when they feel stressed.
Present
Encourage students to share their findings with their peers. What have they learnt about managing feelings of uncertainty?
