PTSD Triggers Worksheet

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that affects kids and teenagers who have witnessed or experienced a traumatic event. PTSD can cause them to have trouble sleeping, lose the ability to enjoy things, and feel moody and angry often.

If you have a child or teen showing signs and symptoms of PTSD, use this worksheet as a therapeutic tool. By filling out this sheet, they'll be able to identify specific triggers (sights, smells, sounds, etc.) and create a personalized plan that will help them cope.

Parents and teachers should use this as a means of support and not as a replacement for treatment from a mental health professional.
