Trauma can deeply affect children and teens by causing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. According to the US Department of Veterans Affairs, 15% to 43% of girls and 14% to 43% of boys experience at least one trauma, and the chances of PTSD are higher for certain types of trauma.
The Trauma Worksheets for Kids and Teens bundle includes 20 valuable tools for young clients to process and cope with their traumatic experiences. The bundle includes a 9-page self-care wheel, a grounding technique worksheet, and more.
Using these trauma worksheets can help kids and teens develop healthy coping strategies so they can regain a sense of control in their lives. As they work through these tools, we recommend offering guidance. For example, if a worksheet feels overwhelming, you can suggest starting with just one section.
Feel free to pair each worksheet with open conversations about their feelings. We have a separate Feelings Worksheets category you can explore!
