Building emotional awareness and coping skills. 

Frame Overview Script

This frame helps you understand stress, emotions, and mental health without shame. Stress is not a failure — it’s information. This frame teaches you how to notice what’s happening in your body and mind before stress turns into shutdown, avoidance, or overwhelm.

You’ll learn simple regulation tools and practice recognizing early signals that you’re overloaded. You’ll also explore how and when to ask for support, which is a key part of independence — not the opposite of it.

By the end of this frame, you should feel more confident handling stress, more aware of your emotional patterns, and better able to recover when things feel hard instead of spiraling or shutting down.

How to Use This Frame

• Try one strategy at a time — don’t stack them
  
  

• Focus on noticing patterns, not fixing everything
  
  

• Repeat lessons if needed
  
  

• Parents: normalize stress, don’t rush solutions
  
  

Progress here looks like awareness and recovery, not perfection.

Strees isn't weakness -  it's a signal. Learning how to calm your body helps you think more clearly and ask for support when needed.
