School Mental Health Ontario, in partnership with Ophea, is offering a series of lessons
to support the development of stress management and healthy coping skills. The
activities in these lessons provide an opportunity for skill development and modelling
for both students and early years educator teams.
Each lesson will provide:
• A minds on activity for both early years educator teams and students.
• An action – through a video, classes will participate in a ‘virtual field trip’
that provides opportunities for students and educators to learn, practice and
develop skills to cope with and manage stress.
• A consolidation activity for follow up after the virtual field trip.
