UNDERSTAND
What is happening here?
Contribution can be small, shared, and supported. Recognizing it should not turn a person into the rescuer or erase their own needs. Ask what the action means to the person and what made it possible, including help received from others.

PRACTICE WITH PURPOSE
How to use it
- Open a fictional action and stay close to what is observable.
- Explore a possible strength and the evidence that supports it.
- Check another interpretation and let the person decide what meaning fits.

MAKE IT USEFUL
Notice. Discuss. Take one thing.
For thoughtful facilitation
Open with the concept, demonstrate one fictional example, allow individual exploration or paired discussion, and close with one optional takeaway. Ask what fits the participant’s culture, language, access needs, and present capacity. Invite observation instead of disclosure; do not interpret participation as a measure of motivation.
Fit and care: Use manageable or fictional examples and adapt within competence. This is educational practice, not diagnosis, crisis care, or individualized treatment.
