Herramientas de Apoyo para el Bienestar Emocional en Niños y Jóvenes en Línea: Un Evento para Personas Interesadas

En respuesta a los desafíos que los niños y los jóvenes han enfrentado durante la pandemia COVID-19, las Academias Nacionales (National Academies) de EE.UU. han desarrollado un conjunto de herramientas – disponibles en línea en inglés y español – para ayudarlos a manejar los sentimientos de estrés, ansiedad, y tristeza. Las herramientas incluyen una serie de novelas gráficas y videos que explican como utilizar lo que pensamos y hacemos para lidiar con el estrés en las vidas de los niños y los jóvenes. Accede a las herramientas en español e inglés aquí.

Ver una demostración en español de las herramientas y aprender cómo puede utilizarlas como educador, profesional de la salud mental, pediatra, padre, o cuidador de niños.

In light of the challenges children have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Academies has developed a suite of tools – available in both English and Spanish online – to help children and youth manage feelings of stress, anxiety, and sadness. The tools include a series of graphic-novel style PDFs and videos that explain how to use our thoughts and what we do to cope with the stress in the lives of children and youth.

About

In light of the challenges children have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Academies has developed a suite of tools to help children and youth manage feelings of stress, anxiety, and sadness. The tools include a series of graphic-novel style PDFs and videos targeting specific thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that cause stress in the lives of children and youth. Access the tools in English and Spanish here.

This stakeholder webinar features a demonstration of the tools and examples of how you can use them as an educator, mental health professional, health care provider, or parent.

BCYF staff worked with a group of experts to identify key cognitive-behavioral skills and develop a series of stories for the microlearnings and PDFs. The group of experts decided on five cognitive behavioral therapy skills that are taught in these micro-learnings:

Belly breathing
Increasing favorite activities
Mindfulness
Catch It, Check It, Change It – Labeling
Catch It, Check It, Change It – All or Nothing Thinking

For each of these skills, the group of experts developed two short stories (one for younger children and one for adolescents) through which the skills are taught. Each story centers around a central character who is experiencing a stressful situation, and teaches that character a specific skill to cope with the stress. Examples of stories include a child who is concerned about their mom leaving for work, a teenager dealing with hurtful social media posts, and an elementary school student nervous about moving into middle school.

Access the tools in English and Spanish here.
