This image shows a worksheet called
"My Safety Plan." It is not a math or logic problem with one single correct answer. Instead, it is a personal tool to help someone stay safe when they are feeling very sad, angry, scared, or unsafe.
Because this is a personal plan,
you must fill it out with your own information. However, I can explain what each part means so you know what to write.
Step-by-Step Guide to Filling Out the Plan:
1.
Name & Date:
* Write your name and today’s date at the top.
2.
My Warning Signs:
* Think about how your body or mind feels *before* you get really upset.
* *Examples:* "My heart beats fast," "I feel like crying," "I want to be alone," "I feel hot in my face."
3.
People I Can Talk To:
* List 2–3 people you trust who will listen to you.
* *Examples:* Mom, Dad, Grandma, Teacher, Best Friend, School Counselor.
4.
Things I Can Do:
* Write down activities that help you calm down or feel better.
* *Examples:* Listen to music, draw, go for a walk, hug my pet, watch a funny movie, take deep breaths.
5.
I Can Distract Myself Until the Feeling and Thoughts Pass:
* This is already filled in as a reminder. Distraction helps strong feelings go away faster.
6.
People Who Can Help When I Feel Unsafe:
* These are adults or professionals you can call if things feel really bad.
* The sheet already lists:
* Kids Helpline: 1800 55 1800 (Australia)

My Reasons to Live:

Final Answer:
There is no single correct answer because this is a
personal safety plan. You need to fill in the blank boxes with your own:
-
Warning signs (how you feel when upset)
-
Trusted people (who you can talk to)
-
Calming activities (what helps you feel better)
-
Reasons to live (things you love or look forward to)
Use the examples above to help you think of your own answers. If you are feeling unsafe right now, please talk to a trusted adult or call one of the helplines listed on the sheet.
