Sensory Checklist

kimwhite12 — 2024-02-06 20:28:30 UTC

We all have sensory needs and tend to either seek certain sensory experiences or avoid them. If someone is avoidant to sounds and the person next to them is seeking to sounds, you can see how this would cause conflict. It's helpful for us to know our sensory needs and try to become aware of the needs of the youth we work with as well. We can be creative in helping them meet those needs.

Organizational Self-Assessment

kimwhite12 — 2024-02-06 22:37:24 UTC

This is an assessment for individuals within an organization/department to fill out and assess how Trauma-Informed they are. While this is intended for an organization, the general concept can still apply to police departments or juvenile services.

Attachment Style Quiz

kimwhite12 — 2024-02-06 22:40:52 UTC

Take this 5 minute attachment style quiz to better understand your attachment style. We tend to learn our attachment style in childhood and carry it on with us to adult relationships with friends, family and children. It's helpful to understand which style we lean towards so that we can be aware of how others might respond.

Workplace Love Language Quiz

kimwhite12 — 2024-02-06 22:48:17 UTC

Take this quiz with your co-workers to better understand how you feel appreciated at work and how you can show appreciation for others. We all give and receive appreciation in different ways!

Sparks

kimwhite12 — 2024-02-08 21:39:46 UTC

This is a great form for kids to fill out about their interests. Have them star as many as they want, then narrow it down to 3 (with specifics) on the second page. See the page below for next steps...

Sparks (2)

kimwhite12 — 2024-02-08 21:43:05 UTC

From their 3, have them narrow it down to 1 and fill out this form. Then the fun part... help them get connected with a practical experience in the community related to their spark. This should be an ongoing experience. After some time has passed, find an opportunity where they can use their spark to inspire someone else. After they have explored one spark for an ongoing period of time, they can fill this sheet out with a different spark and explore another one.

Goal Setting

kimwhite12 — 2024-02-08 21:51:51 UTC

Remember to let youth pick their own goals. They must have buy in and feel empowered in this process. If you need to guide them - try to do it by asking questions instead of stating facts.

Emotional Regulation Plan

kimwhite12 — 2024-03-26 18:18:45 UTC

This is a great tool to have youth fill out (when they are calm) that can give us insight as to what helps them regulate when they are dysregulated. This tool empowers them to pay attention to what helps them and we can come alongside them in executing it. Eventually they will grow to be able to regulate on their own.
