Congratulations on purchasing reflexions, a set of 34 stunning visual prompts for working with young people.
With its blend of photo-montage, illustration and text, reflexions provides just the right ‘edge’ to encourage young people to share their feelings and open up about identity, goals, relationships … and other stuff that can be hard to talk about.
Now that you have the cards, you will be wanting some fresh and innovative ideas for how to incorporate them into your work.
In this toolbox, you’ll find:
- the digital booklet which contains more detailed information about how to use the cards when working with young people and families, the therapeutic strategies behind the resource, and includes a whole range of creative ideas for using the cards
- access to a digital set of the cards so you can use them anywhere, anytime
- ideas banks, blogs, card hack videos, interviews and other support material.
We hope you enjoy browsing this page and are inspired by the stories of others who have used the cards. Don’t forget to explore the range of other supporting materials and information at your fingertips any time you need it.
This toolbox is exclusively for people who have purchased reflexions. We will continue to add resources and ideas, so check in regularly to see what’s new!
