The my safe spaces worksheet works through four numbered sections, starting with a visualization of an ideal safe space and its colors, sounds and scents. The rest turns that image into practical steps at home, in the community and in nature, plus safe relationships and activities.
How to use the My Safe Spaces worksheet
Use it both in session and as homework. The sheet is headed Creating New Safe Spaces. Its first section asks what an ideal space looks like, sounds like and smells like, so a child has something concrete to build toward. Section two turns that into a real corner at home or a place in the community. Your clients can work through the relationships and activities sections over several weeks, since both ask for changes rather than answers.

Frequently asked questions
What does my safe space mean?
On this sheet it is a place you can describe in detail, not just a feeling. The first section asks for colors, furniture, lighting, sounds and scents, because a space you can picture precisely is one you can actually build. It can be somewhere physical or a relationship that feels steady.
What are examples of safe spaces?
The sheet gives four kinds. At home, a corner reorganized with pillows and blankets. In the community, a cafe or library that feels welcoming. In nature, a trail or park to retreat to. It also counts relationships where you can set boundaries and ask for support.
