Mental Wellbeing First Aid Kit: Personalised Coping Skills & Self-Care Worksheet
 
Our emotions can sometimes feel like an injury that can't be seen. This printable Mental Wellbeing First Aid Kit is a vital, empowering tool for children, adolescents, and young adults to create their own personal resource box for managing stress, practising self-soothing, and lifting their mood when life feels heavy.
 
The visual checklist uses the familiar imagery of a first aid kit to make the process of building coping skills relatable and manageable. It encourages users to identify and organise the "bandages and plasters" for their feelings.
 
This activity is an excellent resource for therapists, educators, and parents to facilitate discussions about self-care and resilience.
 
The worksheet prompts the user to fill their kit with key resources, including:
 
Mood Boosters: Music that calms or lifts their mood, and something that shines and brightens their day.
 
Self-Soothing and Expression: A way they can express themselves (art, writing) and something that makes them feel safe and cozy.
 
Connection and Support: Listing the names of "Someone who helps me hold things together" and ways they feel connected to others.
 
Self-Awareness Tools: Identifying "Tools that help me check in with myself" and important words they want to write down.
 
This resource shifts the focus from avoiding difficult feelings to actively preparing to manage them with confidence and support.
