Nasco First Aid Classroom Kit: Student Mental Health for Grades 6–12

We all have moments where we feel overwhelmed by our feelings and the world around us. Tweens and teens are no different.

When those moments arise, students can pull out this SEL first aid kit and use the simple activities and sensory objects to manage their emotions. The included booklet walks them through 6 reflective and calming activities.

This classroom kit includes 30 individual first aid kits and a social-emotional learning (SEL) lesson plan that provides activity walkthroughs, discussion topics, and extension ideas.

Practicing these activities at school and at home will help students develop the social-emotional competencies of self-management and self-awareness.

Each individual kit includes:

• 1 First Aid for Your Mind 16-page booklet
• 1 plastic storage pouch
• Sensory objects that support the activities:
• 1 scented eraser
• 1 sea shell
• 1 plastic mirror
• 3 plastic-coated paper clips
