Cognitive therapy is helpful for anyone, regardless of their age. Explaining this type of therapy to kids and teens can be done using the 3C’S, namely: catch it, check it, change it. This three-step process starts with noticing a negative thought and ends with replacing that thought with something helpful and realistic.
This 3C’s wall art is a wonderful addition to any setting where parents, teachers, and mental health professionals support young people. You can use it as a resource to start a discussion on cognitive therapy as a whole and some helpful techniques.
