A self-soothe support box is a grounding, sensory tool box to help in times of stress, anxiety or worry.
It’s a great tool to have to hand that contains things that help ground your child, make them feel more relaxed and reduce symptoms of panic, anxiety, emotional distress or low mood.
Based on the sensory model for supporting anxiety and stress, the packs are created to support your child’s sensory preferences and contain items such as heat and weighted toys/blanket, fidget toys, auditory support (headphones, meditation etc), notebooks for journalling and mindfulness activities.
If you’d like to have one made up for your child (up to age 16), please contact our occupational therapist, Mel, on mel.tibbitts@cfwa.org.au or text 0405 265 902 and she will be in touch to organise getting one made up for you.
