Resources - COMIC

Tools, guides and ideas to support young minds—wherever they are.

Our resources are designed to help young people, families, teachers, and professionals feel more confident and equipped to support mental health and emotional wellbeing. Everything here is co-created with input from young people and those who work with them, making sure it’s accessible, relevant, and ready to use in the real world.

You don’t need to be a mental health expert to make a difference. Sometimes, the right words, the right activity, or a bit of reassurance is all it takes to start a powerful conversation. That’s where our resources come in.

Who These Are For

We create resources for a wide range of people:

Children and Young People who want tools to help manage emotions, understand themselves, or support their friends
Parents and Carers looking for practical strategies and reassurance
Teachers and School Staff seeking classroom-friendly ideas to support student wellbeing
Youth Workers, Mentors and Community Leaders supporting young people in informal settings
Health and Social Care Professionals interested in innovative, youth-led approaches

Whether you’re looking for a printable activity, a short explainer, or a new way to spark discussion—there’s something here for you.

What You’ll Find

🧠 Emotional Wellbeing Toolkits

A collection of downloadable guides, worksheets and conversation starters designed to help children and young people:

Identify and name emotions
Develop coping strategies for anxiety, stress, or low mood
Explore self-esteem and identity
Understand the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviour
Create personal wellbeing plans

Many of these toolkits are written in plain language, with visual aids and step-by-step instructions. Versions are available for both individual use and group settings.

🗣 Communication & Listening Resources

Supporting mental health isn’t always about knowing what to say—it’s often about knowing how to listen. These resources are designed to build confidence in adults and peers alike:

Tips for starting open conversations about feelings
Active listening checklists
Non-verbal communication support tools (great for neurodivergent young people)
Role-play cards and discussion prompts
Easy-read resources for different communication needs

These tools can be used at home, in classrooms, or during one-to-one sessions.

🎨 Creative & Expressive Activities

Sometimes the best way to process emotions isn’t through talking—it’s through drawing, building, writing or playing. Our creative resources include:

Guided drawing prompts for self-expression
Journal templates for emotional reflection
Art-based activities for group or solo use
Music, movement and storytelling ideas for non-verbal support
Printable visual supports for feelings and routines

These activities are especially well-suited for younger children, neurodivergent young people, or those who find verbal expression difficult.

🏫 School-Based Materials

We’ve developed a series of classroom-ready materials that align with emotional literacy, PSHE, and whole-school wellbeing:

Lesson plans and mini-activities for KS2–KS4
Pastoral care support packs
Breaktime and transition strategies
Staff wellbeing conversation tools
Posters and visual cues for emotion regulation

These can be used flexibly by teachers, teaching assistants, and SENCOs.

🌍 Inclusion & Accessibility Guides

No two young people are the same. That’s why we’ve created inclusion-focused resources to help make mental health support truly accessible:

Adapting materials for different sensory needs
Gender-aware and culturally sensitive wellbeing practices
Supporting LGBTQ+ youth mental health
Working with families with English as an additional language
Co-produced “What Works for Me” templates for young people to express their needs

These resources help create safer, more inclusive environments where every young person feels respected and understood.
