Free Resources

Looking for practical, neuroaffirming support you can use straight away? You’re in the right place.

This page is a growing library of free tools from Strivesocial to help young people (and the adults supporting them) build social confidence, strengthen friendships, and feel more at ease in everyday situations.

What you’ll find here

• Quick tip sheets for common social situations (starting conversations, joining in, handling teasing, managing misunderstandings)

• Simple scripts and sentence starters (for texting, group chats, and in-person conversations)

• Printable checklists and trackers to support real-world practice

• Parent/carer guides to help you coach skills at home without turning it into a battle

• School-friendly resources for teachers and wellbeing staff

Who these resources are for

These resources are designed for:

• Neurodivergent tweens, teens, and young adults (including autistic and ADHD young people)

• Parents, carers, and families

• NDIS support coordinators and support workers

• Schools and allied health professionals

How to use the resources

1. Pick one tool that matches what’s happening right now (e.g., “making friends”, “group work”, “texting”).

2. Practise one small step at a time.

3. Repeat it in real life (with support if needed).

4. Celebrate effort — confidence builds through practice, not perfection.

If you’d like tailored support, you’re welcome to book a free 15-minute consult and we’ll work out the best next step together.

Want something specific?

If there’s a resource you’d love me to create (for example: “how to handle being left on read”, “what to do when a joke goes wrong”, or “starting high school”), send me a message and I’ll add it to the list.
