Clinical goals
What this topic is built to land.
- Name the back-to-school transition in concrete terms — who, what, when — before the first bell.
- Map one valid coping move onto each anticipated trigger: hallway, cafeteria, locker room, teachable-period swap.
- Rehearse one ride-out cue the teen already trusts so the body can predict day one without prompting.
- Name the trusted adult and the specific moment to reach for them — not a generic "ask for help."
Materials at a glance
What you'll have on the table.
- Predictability map (one week of class start times + hallway layout, half-letter)
- Transition card deck (8 cue-to-move pairs, 110 lb stock)
- Trusted-adult reach drill sheet (3 scenarios, named adult + reason-of-trust per row)
- Sharps station kit (one pencil card per teen + spare no. 2)
