Product Overview
We’re often told ‘one step at a time’ when it comes to reaching our goals. But when we are navigating mental health issues, sometimes every step feels hard.
Next Steps is a unique resource that focusses on the very small, daily actions we can take to start moving forward. This might include taking a shower, going for a short walk, or having a cup of coffee.
The 52 full-colour photographs of everyday activities and objects that make up Next Steps are designed to inspire people to take achievable steps and bring about positive change.
Based on strengths-based, solution-focused mental health practices, people can use the cards to identify and work towards simple goals, both today or in the future.
Next Steps is a practical, visual tool for counsellors, social workers, wellbeing staff support people with mental health issues. Suitable for young adults and adults

How to Use
- Getting started: Can be as simple as spreading the cards out and asking the question, ‘is there a next step you could take today?’ What strengths will help your next step happen? How would you be feeling if you took this step today?
- Divide into themes: You may use the whole deck of cards or divide into themes, such as independent living; in the community; at home; staying well or the status quo.
- The miracle question: Imagine you woke up tomorrow and your best hopes were realised. Can you choose a card that represents the next steps you would be taking?
- Recognising exceptions: What steps have you taken before? How did you do it? What can we learn from that time?
