Activity: 7 C’s Word Search

How to Talk About Addiction

Objective:

The Seven C’s©, originally developed by Jerry Moe, are something we learn at Camp Mariposa—and they serve as a powerful reminder for us all. These guiding principles are especially important to hold onto when we’re experiencing harder and more difficult emotions and feelings. They help ground us, give us perspective, and remind us that we are not alone.

Supplies:

Instructions:

  • See if you can find the 7 C’s in the word search. Find: CAUSE, CONTROL, CURE, CARE, COMMUNICATING, CHOICES, CELEBRATING
  • Remember they might be horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or backwards.

Additional Ideas:

If you have access to a projector, you can project the 7 C’s Word Search onto a whiteboard and invite different youth come up to the board and circle a word.
