The Worry Mountain: A Back to School Activity

The Worry Mountain activity provides students with an opportunity to self-monitor, and prioritize events/activities that cause them to worry by pairing them with activities/thoughts that are the most calming. The Worry Mountain provides a visual representation of how worries can decrease over time. Use of positive thinking strategies, self-monitoring, and humor help to promote increased coping skills and ultimately decrease “the worries”.

*Update- Could be used to help support students who may be worried about the return to school and Covid-19.
