Build Your Coping Menu Worksheet

Build Your Coping Menu | Coping Skills & Support Worksheet

Help students create a personal collection of strategies and supports they can turn to when things feel difficult. “Build Your Coping Menu” encourages students to reflect on what has helped before, identify a place to reset, and choose one small next step.

The simple prompts recognize that even something that helps a little is worth remembering.

Students will identify:

A coping strategy that has helped them before.

A place where they can reset.

A trusted person or support they can contact.

One manageable step they can take next.

What’s included: One black-and-white worksheet featuring three organized sections, four guided prompts with checkboxes, lined writing spaces, and a reminder to seek immediate support if feeling unsafe.

Use with middle and high school students during individual counseling, small groups, or social-emotional learning activities. It works well after practicing coping skills or as a session wrap-up, giving students a personalized reference they can revisit and update.
