Self-soothe box

When we feel overwhelmed and anxious, it can be difficult to ground ourselves in the present moment and create a sense of calm. Having a self-soothe box can help you to relax and reduce anxiety and panic, when things become difficult.

Self-harm safety plan

Everyone has the right to feel safe. A safety plan is a tool for helping someone navigate suicidal or self-harm urges. We have put together a template so you can work together with your child to make a plan.

Read the guide either by yourself or with your child to support you to use the safety plan.
