Full-resolution WebP artwork with print-safe margins. Review the guidance below before use.

How to use it

  1. Notice an emotion that is present or choose a recent example.
  2. Consider a possible message, need, or value connected with it.
  3. Choose a response that fits your situation; you may leave any section blank.

Reflection prompts

  • What is one possible message this emotion carries?
  • What other explanations might also fit?
  • What response feels respectful of you and others?

Facilitator guidance

Frame emotions as information that may be useful but incomplete. Support multiple interpretations and distinguish an emotional signal from an instruction to act.

Adaptations & accessibility

  • Complete one panel at a time or discuss the prompts aloud.
  • Use icons for notice, message, need, and choice.
  • Offer a fictional scenario instead of personal disclosure.
