ADOLESCENT IN CRISIS. THERAPEUTIC CARDS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL-PEDAGOGICAL WORKSHEETS

In today's world, young people constantly face challenges, difficulties, and problems that can leave lasting marks on their psyche. Crisis is a word that perfectly describes this state. However, crisis is also an opportunity for growth and the discovery of new possibilities. Working with therapeutic cards is an invaluable emotional and instrumental support that allows you to safely release negative emotions, confront reality, and analyze previous strategies for coping with difficulties.

• Emotional support in difficult situations
• Safe release of negative emotions
• Confrontation with reality and analysis of problems
• Developing skills to cope with crises
• Discovering positive resources and talents
• Creating an action plan and helping teenagers

The presented folder contains 55 cards, including 11 colored therapeutic cards, ideal for group work with students. These cards encourage discussion, inspire brainstorming, and make young people aware of what attitudes are appropriate towards depression, grief, or violence. The remaining 44 cards are black and white cards, intended for individual work, enabling deeper reflection and analysis of personal problems. The cards are intended for students in adolescence (12-18 years), but can also be used for working with adults, adapting the materials to their cognitive and emotional abilities.

The cards are divided into several problem categories, including support in crisis situations such as depression, violence, cyberbullying, aggression, and loss of a loved one. In addition, the cards help to discover positive resources such as talents, desires, dreams and life goals, and to develop pro-social behaviors such as empathy, kindness and gratitude. Thanks to this, a young person can better understand themselves, their emotions and the world around them, and learn effective strategies for coping with difficulties.
