Handout for Youth

I created a very simple "Stoplight" that breaks down stress. Green for positive (like getting a vaccine or a school assignment), Yellow for tolerable (life events like the death of a loved one or move that are supported by family), Red for toxic stress (prolonged exposure). Ours was for pediatrics to be used to help explain toxic stress and the ACE screening tool to parents, but I bet you could change the examples for high school students or provide ways to support each other on the handout as well. Hope this helps!

I would love to see something like this as well. Especially for youth in grades K-5. 

Margaret would you mind either emailing me what you have or posting in this conversation?  

Sure! I'll send a message through ACEs connection with it as an attachment. 

Therapist Aid is a great website that provide free downloadable worksheets and interactive tools.  Check it out.  I have attached some affect indentification worksheet.

This is not a handout, but it is a great short video on Trauma for teens.

I would suggest looking through the categories in the Resources Center. Hope this helps!
