A student has felt sad or low for a while and wants help.

Picture cards: Find a grown-up · Say “I feel sad a lot” · Ask to talk

Practice privately. Let the student point, use the example, or pass. Read the picture cards aloud. Say, “Watch me try one move.” Then model the words or action below.

Point to an adult you can tell. Try “I’ve felt sad a lot. Can we talk?” Invite the student to point, show you, or say it with you.

Say, “Show or tell me your first move.” Point to the card that matches. If needed, model it together once more.

Use a private check-in and follow school support and safety procedures when a student discloses a concern.
