Each session has three core elements. The first is the development of relaxation techniques through mindfulness. This occurs for about 2 to 3 minutes at the beginning and end of each session. The second is the development of self-regulatory life skills which takes about 45 minutes of contact time in each session. Skills include setting specific achievable goals, identifying the networks and resources which will encourage goal achievement, effective communication, understanding emotions and our brain, and developing an emotion vocabulary. The third key element is the planning and achievement of a group goal. Students work together in groups towards a collaborative outcome.
