Calm Corner (30–60 seconds)

If you’re feeling overwhelmed right now, try one small step:

Grounding: Name 5 things you can see, 4 you can feel, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, 1 you can taste.
Breathing: In for 4… hold for 2… out for 6 (repeat 3 times).
One sentence script: “Hi, I need urgent help. I’m not okay.”
Reminder: You don’t need to do everything. One next step is enough.
