Purpose: Make a small plan for a family event so you are not going in cold.
When to use: Use this in the days before a holiday, a wedding, or a visit you are not looking forward to.
Worksheet prompts
- What is the event, and how long will you be there?
Decide the leaving time now, not on the day. - What usually makes it hard? Tick what applies.
- Pick one you ticked. What will you say or do when it starts?
- Where can you go for five minutes alone, and who is safe to sit next to?
- What is one thing you might actually enjoy?
Going in with a plan and a leaving time is not being difficult. It is looking after yourself.
