Crisis & safety card

Shareable snapshot

A one-screen summary you can show to school, clinic, or crisis supports when things are really hard. Designed to be printable or saved as a photo.

If things are really hard right now

Family-facing Ok to share with providers
Early warning signs
  • Stops speaking or only uses very short phrases.
  • Hides under tables / covers ears / avoids eye contact suddenly.
  • More yelling or pacing when routines change without warning.
What helps
  • Move to quieter, safer space away from crowds and loud noises.
  • Use simple, concrete language: “First… then…” with 1–2 choices max.
  • Offer their comfort item (trains / drawing) once they are safe.
Please avoid
  • Raising your voice, threats, or removing special interests as punishment.
  • Unexpected physical touch from behind.
  • Many people talking at once or rapid-fire questions.
Who to call
