Mind Designs: Encouraging Self-Disclosure in Children and Adolescents Through Coloring Therapy

By: Angela Troppa

This book will provide you with a unique, powerful tool that will help facilitate deeper personal conversations with young people. The reproducible worksheets have been field-tested with children and adolescents who are experiencing trauma and/or young people with mild to severe social/emotional/behavioral challenges. It is easy to use - simply select a topic, have students complete the worksheet and then ask the students to color the corresponding Mind Design. Each design was developed to help enhance personal discussions between young people and a professional.

Mind Designs is divided into two sections, one for children and the other for adolescents. Activities with reproducible worksheets on the following topics are included: • Anger • Bullying • Feelings • Career Exploration • Social Skills • Healthy Relationships  • Self-Esteem  • Stress • Depression  • Conflict Resolution  • Substance Abuse  • Friendship

Includes a download link to download discussion questions that you can print and use after the child or adolescent has completed each Mind Design. Also has downloads available for all the Reproducible Activities, Worksheets and Discussion Questions
