Your Guide to SOCCSS
A reflective, step-by-step guide to helping children process challenging behaviour and plan for better future outcomes.
 
Your Guide to SOCCSS introduces a structured approach for guiding children through social problem-solving, based on the original model by Jan Roosa and used by Carol Gray. It supports children in reflecting on what happened, considering their options, weighing up consequences, and choosing positive strategies. Ideal for use after an incident, SOCCSS helps promote emotional regulation, responsibility, and restorative thinking.
 
This guide includes two printable templates that can be used to structure and record your SOCCSS conversations, making it easier to support consistent practice across settings. It can also be used alongside Comic Strip Conversations to visually explore the situation before working through each step.
