Tool guide
Learn more about this tool
Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Practitioner And Child Roles
The practitioner frames and reviews the toolkit. The child contributes difficult feelings, preferences, and feedback about what feels realistic.
Relevant Limitations
The tool does not recommend, rank, or score coping strategies and does not function as a crisis plan.
Can the toolkit be sent for child input?
Yes. The completion mode may be ready-to-send, but sent entries require practitioner review before being treated as ready for therapeutic use.
Does the tool provide a universal coping-skills list?
No. Coping options must be supported by therapy, practitioner setup, or child preference; unsupported strategy catalogs are not part of the specification.
What if a strategy is entered without a feeling?
It remains as an unmatched option so the practitioner can review or match it later.
Does the tool say which strategy will work best?
No. It organizes feeling-to-coping matches and does not infer effectiveness or rank options.
