Emotion Packs? Great idea!

According to this article in the BBC, “Every secondary school in the UK and the Republic of Ireland is to receive a pack from Samaritans to help pupils deal with emotional knocks. It follows research for the charity by Oxford University, which showed that one in 10 teenagers had self-harmed. The DEAL (Developing Emotional Awareness and Learning) pack includes lesson plans and a DVD - designed to overcome the stigma of asking for help.”

I think it’s a wonderful idea, maybe we here in the U.S. can learn from it. What do you think?
