Using Calm Moments Cards
A Program to Reduce Stress, Enhance Emotional Well-being, and Support School Function
Are stress and anxiety during the school day hindering your students from participating? Are you seeking effective ways to support them in managing situations or activities they find too demanding?
Why reinvent the wheel? Join Sue in this seminar to explore the Calm Moments Cards (CMC) program—a ready-made, evidence-informed toolkit that empowers you, other school personnel, and students recognize stress signals, apply calming strategies, and foster a positive classroom culture.
The CMC program includes 17 cards, each tailored to address a specific school-related stressor, such as transitioning between classes, participating in PE or recess, taking tests, emergency situations, writing, and more. Sue will guide you through the situation-specific, research-backed, and practical Thinking, Calming & Focusing, and Sensory Strategies contained in each card. You’ll learn to embed such techniques as positive affirmations, movement exercises, deep breathing, coloring, and other activities throughout the school day to help students manage stress and stay engaged. Sue will discuss how to use this flexible program for individual students, a whole class, or even the entire school as part of the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).
Leave the seminar equipped with a comprehensive toolkit of easy-to-use cards and strategies that will help you support your students’ well-being and success in school! Closed Captioned in English
