Clinician-created · facilitator review requiredFor clinician-facilitated use
This is a professional resource, not a child-facing online service. A licensed clinician or other qualified adult must determine suitability, explain and adapt the activity, and supervise its use. Do not direct a child to access this webpage independently or enter client information.
The full-resolution WebP includes print-safe margins and should be downloaded by an adult professional. Read the guidance below before using the page.
How to use it
- Choose any sections you want to use and any you want to keep private.
- Draw, write, or add symbols for parts of yourself and your life that you want represented.
- Change the shape, add a section, or cover a section if the shield does not fit you.
- Share only the parts you choose.
Reflection prompts
- Which section feels most important today?
- What part might change over time?
- What would you like others to understand or respect?
Facilitator guidance
Follow the child's language and do not require family, culture, hopes, or other identity disclosures. Present the shield as a customizable container, not a test or fixed portrait.
Adaptations & accessibility
- Use collage images or movable symbols.
- Let the child create a private back side or sealed section.
- Replace the shield with a circle, room, backpack, or free-form shape.
Professional-use review
Standard licensed-clinician and cultural-humility review required before use.
