Choosing a Tool to Stay Calm at School Video Social Story

This video social story reminds students to choose a tool to stay calm and safe. Students are prompted to reflect on their triggers, think about the signals their bodies give them and consider the size of their problem. Also, does their reaction match the size of the problem? Examples of coping strategies are reviewed as well as possible consequences of making safe or unsafe choices. Presentation by Jennifer Rodriguez.
