Coping With the "Bad Stuff in Life"

As you are well aware, many of our students have some pretty serious situations going on in their lives outside of school.  Counseling is an Title I option that has been exercised in only one of our schools.  Some of our T1 students are "coping" with serious issues in self-distructive ways.  This article is sensitively written and examines various circumstances that we as adults may have gone through or are going through and translating our experiences to help the students we teach.  The embedded link to the Brain Works Project is extremely valuable to us as teachers in our professional and private lives.  Please check that out.  Here is the link... http://www.copingskills4kids.net/
