Making a Safe Place for Students Who Identify as Furries, Therians, and Otherkins

Hello, my name is Cindy and I am a formaholic! Whether electronic or traditional, I love forms of all kinds and I use them in various ways.

Below, you will see original forms that I have created and borrowed from other schools and school counselors. In all, there are over 1000 forms available in this post.
