SEE THE APPROACH BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE
Sample: Start with choice and what matters today
These selected excerpts show the learning, a scenario, a worksheet and facilitator preparation. They are offered for personal evaluation, rather than running a group from an unreviewed draft.
A short learning excerpt
You may already have people asking you to fill out forms or make plans. This activity begins with your choice. You can use an example, ask someone to read with you, skip a question or stop. You do not have to earn support by completing the series.
A useful priority can be very ordinary: understanding a letter, getting to an appointment, finding a quiet place or making one part of the day easier. It can also be deciding that today is not a good time for another task. Your needs and the resources around you both belong in the picture.
Fictional example: Moana has three service appointments and confusing letters. The first priority is not learning another wellbeing technique. Moana wants one clear list of which appointment is next and how to get there. She asks a worker to help read the letter and chooses not to discuss family circumstances in the group.
A fictional situation
The invitation sounds compulsory
A worker says finishing the course will demonstrate readiness for further help. Moana wants the referral but is unsure whether she can decline the course.
Try a response and explore the feedback. This is practice, not a test of you.
Try the private worksheet
Use a fictional example or leave this blank. Answers stay in this open page and clear when you leave. Saving downloads a text file; nothing is uploaded.
The sample does not award a certificate, record completion or grant group delivery rights.
See how a facilitator would prepare
Say explicitly that participation does not affect access to services. Check whether a practical issue needs attention before offering an educational activity. Avoid asking for reasons when someone passes.
Session opening excerpt
5 minutes · Welcome, choice and access check
“Use an example, pass or take a break. Participation does not affect services. Your worksheet stays with you.”
Access and stopping
Read the example aloud with permission. Offer two concrete priorities to choose between, or let the person identify their own.
If a basic or urgent need takes priority, stop and use the relevant support route. The programme is not a substitute for practical assistance.
The complete facilitator guide includes the remaining timed activities, discussion prompts, common misunderstandings and follow-up.
