Anxiety: 6-Week Social Emotional Learning Intervention for Elementary School Counselors
Paolini, Allison C.
Journal of School Counseling, v19 n23 2021
This Brief Resource addresses anxiety and the dire impact anxiety has on student well-being and performance. Anxiety prevents students from focusing, concentrating, feeling safe, grounded, and at ease. There are immeasurable numbers of students who are experiencing anxiety during this pandemic. Social Emotional Learning works to enhance students' innate abilities to improve coping, regulate emotions, problem solve, take on leadership roles, focus on control, mindfulness, optimism, gratitude, communication, and empowerment. These are vital skills to possess in order to survive times when people face adversity. This manuscript will provide a definition of anxiety, symptoms of anxiety, consequences of anxiety, a definition of social emotional learning (SEL), and how augmenting social emotional learning skills can help to mitigate anxiety. Additionally, a 6-Week social emotional learning intervention addressing anxiety is included.
