Ways to care for your mental health

Family Changes

When home life shifts.

What this means

Moves, new siblings, separations, and other changes can bring many feelings at once. That is normal.

Signs to notice

  • • Trouble sleeping
  • • Feeling stuck in the middle
  • • Big mood swings

Healthy coping ideas

  • • Keep one steady routine
  • • Name feelings to a safe adult
  • • Ask questions instead of guessing

Journal prompts

“What has changed, and what has stayed the same?”

“What is one question you wish you could ask?”

“Who is a trusted adult you can talk to?”

“What helps you feel calm and safe?”

“What part of this is not your job to fix?”
