Someone to turn to...

Graphic of head of scared childEveryone gets into tricky or scary situations once in a while. When this happens the most important things to remember are:

  • Nothing is so awful that we can't talk about it with someone we trust
  • There is always someone who will listen to your problems.

Take a look at the safety net below. If you were scared or in trouble, who would be there to catch you. Imagine yourself in the centre of the net and the people you could turn to holding the net.

Alternatively, you can down load and print the PDF file. Then you can draw a picture of yourself in the centre of the net and draw or write about the people you could turn to, in the other spaces. Click this link to download the PDF file.
