The Big Move (Map It) ️

🦜 Rosie: "Unknowns shrink when you name them."

One thing I'm looking forward to:

One thing I'm unsure about:

Who or what could help with that:

Friendships Shift (That's Normal)

🦔 Gary: Friendships can change as people grow — it doesn't mean you did anything wrong. Choose what matters in a friend.

Kind

Honest

Reliable

Fun

Respects boundaries

Includes me

One way I'll meet new people:

Who Am I Becoming?

🦎 Elvis: Growing up means figuring out your own values. Write three words that feel like you.

Something I want to try or get better at:

Self-Advocacy (Ask for What Helps)

🦜 Rosie: Practise a script to ask an adult at school for support.

"Hi, I find tricky. Something that helps me is . Could we ?"

My Coping Toolkit

🦔 Gary: Tick tools for hard days, and name one person you can talk to.

🌬️ Slow breathing / grounding 🚶 Move / get outside ✍️ Write or message a feeling 🎧 Music or a calming activity

If a change ever feels too big to handle alone, talk to a trusted adult — a parent, carer, teacher, tutor or school counsellor. Asking for help is a strength.

My person to talk to:
