UNDERSTAND THE IDEA
Stability is built with feasible supports.
Routines for health, nourishment, sleep, appointments, and connection are affected by resources and capacity. Planning a smaller version and a restart cue can make a routine more adaptable. Stability is not measured by perfect completion.
Facilitation lens: Ask what barrier needs a service, accommodation, or shared task. Do not use the activity to ration basic care or alter prescribed treatment.

Fictional example
A member feels depleted after a service transition.
Open with choice — 3 minutes
Explain the purpose, privacy limits, and the option to observe, use fiction, adapt, or pass. Check access needs and group readiness; do not promise absolute confidentiality.
Meet the fictional case — 4 minutes
A member feels depleted after a service transition. Ask what is known, what is assumed, and what the person in the case wants.
Practice: Mapping — 11 minutes
Reduce a planned day to essential needs, one chosen action, and a support request. Each person privately maps the fictional case. Offer optional contributions to a shared map, then compare where context, access, and support change the picture. Do not interpret another person's map.
Reflect and compare — 4 minutes
What is enough for today? Ask what fits, what does not, and what external conditions or supports affect the options. No personal disclosure is required.
Close and integrate — 3 minutes
Invite an optional observation, support request, or small next step. Passing is welcome. Agree how to revisit questions and seek appropriate help outside the exercise.
Practice output
A map with at least two possible support or choice points.
Scope and adaptation
Use ordinary or fictional examples, not graphic substance-use stories or cue exposure. No competitive abstinence scoring, forced disclosure, or required pathway. These plans do not manage intoxication, overdose, withdrawal, or medication changes; follow individualized care and appropriate medical assessment.
Offer reading aloud, typing, drawing, pointing, or observation. Avoid mandatory movement, eye contact, touch, and body focus.
