Helping High Schoolers Manage Emotions

De-escalation spaces allow students to leave stressful situations or interactions so they can process their emotions and then return to learning.

February 5, 2018

Pearl-Cohn Entertainment Magnet High School has a variety of spaces students can use to physically remove themselves from a negative situation. These de-escalation zones allow students to calm down and then try to understand and assess their feelings, either on their own or with adult guidance.
