Creating space for students to reflect on how they’re feeling can make a powerful difference. This Student Mental Health Check-In template gives learners a simple, age-appropriate way to express emotions, recognize what’s on their mind, and identify someone they can talk to.
Use this template during morning meetings, advisory periods, or anytime students need a quiet moment to check in with themselves. It promotes emotional literacy, supports regulation, and helps students build the habit of asking for help when needed.
