Are you Anxious? Time to Get Grounded!
The Student Resilience Project is a web-based, research-informed toolkit developed to encourage students’ wellness by helping them learn to manage stress in healthy ways and increase their sense of belonging. Grounding is a technique aimed at helping people overcome challenges by reconnecting with their surroundings. Grounding is focusing on our surroundings and the present moment instead of being trapped by the thoughts that cause us to feel anxious, overwhelmed, or out of control. This grounding toolkit offers physical, mental and soothing grounding techniques, as well as worksheets to practice the techniques.
