Actually, I can’t solve this problem by filling in the names — because
this is a personal, therapeutic worksheet, not a math or logic puzzle with one correct answer.

🧠 What This Worksheet Is For:
This “Building Support Circles” activity is designed to help
children (or teens) cope with their parents’ divorce or separation. It encourages them to identify and visualize their emotional support system — the people they can trust and talk to during a difficult time.
The concentric circles represent levels of closeness:
-
Innermost circle: “Me” — you.
-
Middle circle: “Family” — close relatives who support you.
-
Outer circle: “Friends” — trusted peers.
-
Outermost layer: “Others” — teachers, coaches, counselors, church members, etc.
---
✔ How to Complete It (Step-by-Step):
1.
Start with “Me” — that’s you. You’re at the center.
2.
Think about your family: Who in your family makes you feel safe? (e.g., mom, dad, grandma, sibling, aunt, uncle). Write up to 5 names under “Family Members.”
3.
Think about friends: Who do you trust to talk to about your feelings? (e.g., best friend, classmate, cousin who’s like a friend). List up to 5 under “Friends.”
4.
Think about others: Who outside your immediate circle supports you? (e.g., school counselor, soccer coach, youth group leader, teacher). List up to 5 under “Others.”
> 💡 Tip: Choose people who are *safe*, *kind*, and *good listeners*. You don’t have to fill all 5 lines if you don’t have that many people yet — it’s okay to start small.

🌱 Why This Helps:
-
Reduces isolation — reminds you you’re not alone.
-
Builds resilience — helps you recognize your support network.
-
Encourages communication — gives you permission to reach out when you’re hurting.
-
Validates your feelings — shows that it’s okay to need help.

❗ Important Note:
Since this is deeply personal,
I cannot fill in names for you — only you know who truly supports you. But I can help you think through it!
👉 If you’d like, tell me:
- Who you feel closest to right now.
- Who you’ve talked to before when you were upset.
- Who makes you feel calm or understood.
And I’ll help you brainstorm names to put in each circle.
You’re not alone — and building your support circle is a brave, healthy step forward. 💚
Let me know how else I can help!
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of support worksheet.
