Interventions l Emotional Regulation Intervention Pack

Support children and young people to better understand, express and regulate their emotions with this comprehensive Emotional Regulation Intervention.

Written by experienced practitioners, this ready-to-use intervention pack provides a structured programme of engaging activities that help young people recognise emotions, understand why they experience them, identify personal triggers and early warning signs, and develop practical strategies to manage big feelings with confidence.

Rather than simply teaching children to "calm down", this intervention focuses on helping young people understand what is happening inside their brain and body, building the self-awareness needed for lasting emotional regulation and positive behaviour change.

Throughout the programme, young people explore how emotions influence their thoughts, physical responses and behaviour. Through discussion, reflection and practical activities, they develop personalised regulation strategies that can be applied both in school and everyday life.

Ideal for use in schools, specialist provisions and therapeutic settings, this intervention pack can be delivered as part of individual ELSA sessions, targeted pastoral interventions, mentoring programmes or small group work.
