Free Web App: 800+ Prompts for Community Circles, Journals, & Warmups

I made a free, searchable webapp for 800+ (hopefully trauma-aware) prompts for community circles, journals, warmups, closings, etc. You can add it as a button on your phone homepage, too. It's linked to a Google spreadsheet I keep updated, so feel free to suggest changes or additions. Not all of the questions I like, but I have included just because it's an index.

If Glide ever removes its services, you can access the Google Sheets document by clicking here.

Music: Teen-friendly songs affirming mental health

These songs come from a show, Steven Universe, that my high school students have expressed to be wholesome and helpful in exploring their identities. I found their message to be very cathartic and incredibly healthy in affirming anyone's journey of self-exploration and recovery from trauma.

I have organized them by theme below. If you give them a listen, I hope you enjoy!

  • Overcoming avoidance & shame by facing the truth with help – True Kinda Love (youtube) (lyrics)

  • Growing up - Independent Together (youtube - spoilers) (lyrics)

  • Permission to be yourself - Be Wherever You Are (youtube) (lyrics)

  • Affirming self-dignity but inviting understanding - Change Your Mind (youtube) (lyrics)

  • Intrusive thoughts, spiraling, & mindfulness - Here Comes A Thought (youtube) (lyrics)

  • Starting over after abuse - Found (youtube - spoilers) (lyrics)

  • Two enemies reconciling over a shared grief - Both of You (youtube) (lyrics)

(P.S. I am of the opinion that this 2-min clip is essential viewing for any nonbinary or lgbt kid right now.)
