The S.A.F.E. Zones

S.A.F.E. on Set uses the 3 familiar “traffic light” colors to identify the S.A.F.E Zones

GREEN –  Green is the “GOOD” zone.

It’s a clear indicator that you are in a good head space  and free from feelings of anxiety or depression.For your teammates, it also gives them the green light to talk to you about what they may be experiencing- and that you are there to listen, support and advocate. Being green never felt so good 🙂

 

YELLOW – Yellow is a “CAUTION” zone.

Not good, not bad… but vulnerable. People bearing a yellow cone may be starting to experience symptoms, or concerned about possible triggers. While there is not an immediate concern, it’s a signal to implement coping strategies and start a conversation.

 

 

RED – Red is a “DANGER” zone.

It means ‘I am not myself and am experiencing anxiety. My reactions may not be typical for a given situation’.  It’s time to put on your emotional armor – people in the red zone may lash out, may retreat (anxiety manifests differently for everyone) but it indicates that things are not well.  Remember, identifying we need help is a huge step, and speaking up can be terrifying, so treat others how you would want to be treated. Be aware, be sensitive. Be a good teammate.
