Zones of Regulation
Developing emotional literacy is a key element in supporting students struggling with their mental health. Brooke Lilburne, SSEND Consulting Teacher, ran several sessions with our staff to introduce a program that supports the development of emotional literacy and self-regulation skills. The Zones Of Regulation contains lessons, worksheets, an app and visuals that assist primary and secondary aged students to:
- identify their feelings;
- understand how their behaviour impacts those around them; and
- learn tools to manage their feelings and problem solve conflicts more effectively.
