We want children to grow up knowing that it's ok to be open and honest about our feelings, and that when something is bothering us, it's always best to talk about it. However, we also know how difficult it can be to just open up about something and start a conversation. These cards can be kept on the side at home, or in the classroom, ready to be picked up and used when needed.

About this resource:

This is a printable resource designed to support open and honest discussions about mental health. These discussion prompt cards are perfect for children and teens who may need a little nudge to express their thoughts and emotions. Simply print and cut out the cards, then leave them within easy reach for moments of need.

By having these cards readily available, you provide a non-intrusive way for your child or teen to seek support and start important conversations. Instead of struggling to find the right words to ask for help, they can simply pick up a card and feel confident about starting a conversation.
