Essentials

Taking good care of yourself begins with being prepared for stressful situations.

  • This Emergency Self-Care Worksheet provides a straightforward starting place for you to do that — in ways that work for you.
  • Employ a “whole person” approach by using strategies like these, which cover every aspect of your experience: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational.
  • Take a page from the National Center for PTSD, which offers an online self-help tool that walks you through exercise ranging from being in the present moment to getting a good night’s sleep and from changing negative thinking patterns to writing your reflections.
