✨ Castle Mode
When things feel overwhelming, imagine:
Nighttime lights Soft blue & pink Calm courtyard You can breathe here
🏰 The Castle: Your Safe Place
A mental courtyard where nothing can touch you.
Pause Zone
  • Picture the Disneyland Castle lit up at night.
  • Soft colors: baby blue, pink, white, silver.
  • You are standing in the courtyard, surrounded by calm light.
  • Here, you are allowed to pause, breathe, and not decide anything yet.
Use this when
Your thoughts feel too fast, too heavy, or too sharp. Say quietly: “I’m in the castle. I can slow down.”
➕ Gentle grounding prompts
  • Notice 3 colors around the castle.
  • Notice 2 sounds (music, soft crowd, fireworks far away).
  • Notice 1 thing that feels safe to you right now.
🏀 Utah Jazz: Your Strength Anchor
You are not playing this game alone.
Team Energy
  • Imagine the arena—the rhythm of the crowd, the shared focus.
  • Remember: even the best players have off nights and still belong on the team.
  • You are allowed to lean on others when the game feels heavy.
  • Your worth is not measured by perfection; it’s measured by your presence.
Use this when
You need to remember you deserve support and connection. Tell yourself: “I’m on a team. I don’t have to carry this alone.”
➕ Team check-in ideas
  • Text someone: “Can you just say hi? Today is heavy.”
  • Imagine a favorite player subbing in so you can rest.
  • Remind yourself: timeouts are part of the game, not a failure.

Emergency Words
These are words you can use when you need help from a real person. You do not have to explain everything or justify anything.
Script A
“I’m having a hard time right now and I need someone with me.”
Script B
“I’m not feeling safe and I need support.”
This button is a reminder: when things feel too big, reach out to a person or crisis support.
You are important. If you feel like you might hurt yourself or are in danger, please reach out to someone you trust or a crisis line in your area. You deserve real-time, human support.
🛟 Safety Plan: Real-World Steps
Small actions that keep you connected and grounded.
Step-by-step
  • Change spaces: step outside, into another room, or near a window.
  • Drink water: take slow sips of cold water.
  • Hold something grounding: a soft object, a blanket, a pillow, or anything comforting.
  • Play gentle sound: music, white noise, or a calming playlist.
  • Reach out: text or call someone who usually makes you feel calmer, not worse.
  • Remind yourself: “This moment will pass. I can get through this one moment at a time.”
➕ People I can reach out to
  • Family member: (write or imagine their name here)
  • Friend: (someone who listens and doesn’t judge)
  • Faith or community person: (church, community, or support leader)
  • Coworker or mentor: (someone steady and kind)
