QUICK START GUIDE:-Review coping strategies with students in classroom guidance, small groups, or individually. Discuss the situations in which these coping skills might be useful to the student. -Students look at the coded picture and determine what color to use for each section by using the key on the left side of the page. Any spaces left blank can be left white or colored with the student’s choice of color!

WHO IT’S HELPFUL FOR:-Everyone! But it’s especially helpful for students who struggle to use effective coping strategies or are currently engaging in maladaptive behaviors when hard situations arise. Help these students create a list of the hard situations they might encounter or triggering situations and the coping skills they can use during those times.-If possible, provide these students the supplies needed for their chosen coping skills (i.e. notebook, crayons, etc.) so that they can implement the given strategies as needed.
