Safety Plan for Children Made By a Therapist | Trauma-Informed |

When children experience big, overwhelming feelings, they often need something simple, safe, and supportive to return to. This thoughtfully designed Safety Plan for Children was created by a practicing Licensed Master Social Worker to help children identify their feelings, recognize warning signs, and access coping strategies and safe supports in a gentle, developmentally appropriate way. It also serves as a visual cue for families—offering a shared, easy-to-follow guide that supports connection, communication, and co-regulation during overwhelming moments.

This printable is rooted in trauma-informed, attuned care—offering structure without overwhelm and support without pressure. It can be used in therapy sessions, at home with caregivers, or in school settings as a collaborative tool to help children feel more prepared and supported when emotions feel big.
