A Route Back to Care

Arrange a nonurgent reconnection plan after a fictional disruption.

UNDERSTAND

What is happening here?

After a disruption, an all-or-nothing conclusion can make it harder to seek help. A useful review distinguishes immediate safety needs from the later work of understanding the pattern. This sequence applies only after urgent medical or safety concerns have been addressed.

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: A return to use may involve urgent medical risk. Do not delay appropriate care to complete this exercise.
