Using CBT and Mindfulness to Manage Student Anxiety : A 9-Week Program for Children and Adolescents Paperback / softback

Using CBT and Mindfulness to Manage Student Anxiety provides a weekly framework utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to support children who are struggling with anxiety. This book begins with an overview of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices and their use in supporting worry.

The 9 weekly sessions are broken down into a ready-to-use lesson complete with an assessment tool, clinician notes for added depth, and a template to support generalization of learning with teachers and guardians.

Lessons are focused on connection, building an awareness of emotions, and increasing the student’s capacity to regulate their emotions in a variety of ways.

The last portion of this book offers opportunities to continue generalization of emotion regulation skills in the classroom and at home. Providing practitioners with a ready-to-go structured lesson plan that builds with each session, and tools to assess progress and growth, this book will be a welcome addition to any school-based mental health professional’s library.
