Using art in therapy can help kids express and process emotions, which improves well-being.

The Nervous Mouse Coloring Sheet reinforces skills from the educational storybook The Nervous Mouse. In the story, Mouse learns to manage their worry by talking with a trusted person, using deep breathing, doing something fun, and changing their thoughts. Our coloring sheet can be used to review these important worry management skills.

After coloring, try the following discussion questions with your young clients:

• What helps you feel better when you’re nervous?
• What is your favorite coping skill to use in school? At home?
• Who can you talk to when you feel worried?
