Massachusetts Department of Mental Health has created a great set of safety tools to assess for children's safety in different situations like substance abuse and domestic violence.

 Check this two page document  which has pictures to help children communicate their thoughts and feelings in an effective way.

  • Trigger Tools: What makes you feel upset? 
  • Warning Sign Tools: What happens to my body when I am angry, scared or upset?
  • Safety Tools: What helps you feel better?
You can add personalized tools that are specific to your client as well.
