This book is for learning and practice. It helps young people notice feelings, think through everyday changes, communicate clearly and ask for help. It does not diagnose a condition or replace support from a parent, carer, teacher, school professional, doctor, counsellor or emergency service.
Some changes are disappointing. Some are unfair. Some are unsafe. A young person is never required to stay quiet, keep a dangerous secret, accept bullying, or solve an adult problem alone. When something feels unsafe, involves threats, abuse, coercion, discrimination, self-harm, serious illness or immediate danger, the right next step is to tell a trusted adult and use the appropriate local help route.
IMPORTANT Flexibility means finding a safe next step. It never means pretending harm is acceptable.
Adults using this book should protect each reader's privacy. Activities can be completed with invented or low-stakes examples. Nobody should be pressured to describe a sensitive experience in front of a group.
