My Safe Spaces

This activity helps children and young people identify and express who and what makes them feel safe, calm, and supported. It also allows them to creatively explore and reflect on these sources of comfort by drawing or writing about them.
 
Therapeutic Benefit:
Recognising and naming safe people, places, and activities helps build emotional resilience and supports self-regulation. Drawing their safe space also encourages creativity and self-expression, which can be especially valuable for children who struggle with verbal communication.
 
Target Group:
Children and young people (can be used in 1:1 settings, small group work or class-based sessions).
