This lesson was inspired by the Center for Non Violent Communication (https://www.cnvc.org). By being able to identify one's own feelings and needs, it makes it much easier to have empathy for how others are feeling and what they are needing. This is a simplified version of the Feels and Wants inventory on CNVC along with a worksheet to help children understand themselves and others, promote emotional development, resolve conflict, and improve social skills. Provide the children with the Feelings and Needs worksheet first and have them think of a conflict they had with someone in their life. Next, help them identify how they felt and what they needed from the other person they had a conflict with. They can color and/or cut out the feelings and needs they identify with and paste them into the right spot. Explain that there are good feelings when one's needs are met, and bad feelings when your needs are not met. Next, find out what they they the other person felt and needed. Follow up with the What I Will Say Next Time worksheet (included). This encourages them to use "I-messages," otherwise known as saying how you feel from your own perspective without casting blame onto the other person. It simply informs of them of your feelings when they do certain things, and lets them know what you need instead. See the example below: I feel _____ when you _______ because________ What I need is _____________ In addition to the provided sheets of Feelings and Needs, I have also added a blank sheet of each so they are customizable. Enjoy!

Approximately 65 percent of patients with acute myocardial infarction report experiencing symptoms of depression. Major depression is present in 15 to 22 percent of these patients. Depression is an independent risk factor in the development of and mortality associated with cardiovascular disease in otherwise healthy persons. Persons who are depressed and who have pre-existing cardiovascular disease have a 3.5 times greater risk of death than patients who are not depressed and have cardiovascular disease. Physicians can assess patients for depression by using one of several easily administered and scored self-report inventories, including the SIG E CAPS + mood mnemonic. Cognitive-behavior therapy is the preferred psychologic treatment. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants are the recommended pharmacologic treatment because of the relative absence of effects on the cardiovascular system. The combination of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor with cognitive-behavior therapy is often the most effective treatment for depression in patients with cardiovascular disease.
