DEAL: emotional health assessment activity

This activity can be used as an assessment activity to complement any of the sessions involved in the emotional health theme

Sam has been coming in to school late sometimes. She always asks me if I have any spare money for lunch, which is a bit annoying. She doesn’t hang out with us at lunchtime though. Some of the other girls make fun of her. Sam heard someone laughing about a story they had heard about a house catching fire and she ran out crying and hid in the toilets. She won’t tell me why she was upset.

Can you describe Sam’s emotional health? How do you know?

What is Sam doing to cope?

What could she do to improve her emotional health?
