Roadmapping Sessions
Are you or a young person you know…
Feeling stuck in social situations?
Lacking social confidence?
Wanting to feel better about interacting with others, but don’t know where to start?
We got you.
Our 1:1 Roadmapping sessions are designed to help identify the young person’s goals. Together we’ll map out what support and steps will help towards doing what’s important to them.
What are “Social Goals”?
We specialise in supporting young people with their social goals- but social goals aren’t about how many friends someone has.
They’re about how a young person feels, and wants to feel, in situations that involve interacting and relating with others: online, at school, at work and in the community.
Social goals might include things like:
Posting, chatting and commenting on social media
Ordering a drink at the cafe
Joining in group conversations
Asking for help when they’re unsure what to do
Navigating conflict or repairing friendships
Responding to teasing or bullying
Deciding what feels safe and comfortable to share- and with whom
Building or maintaining friendships
What feels hard (or important) looks different for everyone. Social goals are shaped by a young person’s experiences, strengths and what matters most to them.
That’s where a Roadmapping session comes in. Together, we help a young person identify their own social goals, then start to develop a plan - a Roadmap- to help them feel less stuck and move towards those goals in ways that feel achievable and meaningful.
What to Expect
Sessions run for about 50 minutes, and can be online or face-to-face.
We use a single-session model to maximise what the young person gets out of their appointment with us. This means that we aim for the young person to walk away with a bit of a plan (“Roadmap”), that we’ll work on during the session. The Roadmap may include some steps the young person can take on themselves, and/or goals they might like to work on with the support of others. We can also discuss whether our groups may be helpful.
Some people may want to book in for another session to keep working on their Roadmap, and that’s okay too. Others may want to work on their social confidence, but don’t feel ready just yet for a group. So, we use the Roadmapping session to explore small steps that can be taken with the support of our service or others to work towards those goals.
After the session, we send the young person (and any support people they nominate) a short summary of the completed Roadmap and our recommendations.
