Coping Statements for Anxiety

Young people who are dealing with anxiety will greatly benefit from coping statements. These are truth-based, positive statements that lower their anxiety levels and help them feel more in control.

This coping statements for anxiety worksheet is an engaging tool that includes different statements kids and teens can use when they start feeling anxious. On the worksheet, they'll also find empty statement bubbles where they need to write three more coping statements. It's a wonderful exercise for young people and can be used by parents, teachers, social workers, and mental health professionals at home and in therapeutic environments.

Encourage your child, student, or patient to pick their top favorite statements (that resonate well with them) and recite them out loud or mentally the moment they feel overwhelmed.
