Reflexions

Conversations about emotions, particularly those about sensitive, painful, and even hopeful topics, can sometimes be challenging for young people.

Reflexions is a resource specifically designed to kick-start these vital conversations with young people to support them to talk about the things that are important to them.

This set of 34 stunning, full-colour cards, including five ‘able to’ cards, is perfect for anyone who works with young people. Each card features an edgy, photomontage design alongside keywords and phrases to prompt young people to have authentic conversations about feelings, goals, changes, and relationships.

A versatile and engaging, conversation-building resource, Reflexions can be used with groups, individuals and within families, supporting young people to explore their own identities as they grow towards independence and build confidence to express a wide range of feelings.

Ideal for counsellors, psychologists, wellbeing teams, and educators.

• Change at home or school: Pick a card for how you are feeling at home/school at the moment. Now pick a card for how you would like to be feeling. Spread out the five ‘able’ cards … which one will be most helpful in getting you where you want to be?
• For families: Which of the cards would you, as a family, like to work on? What strengths do you have that you could use to work through these?
• Building empathy in groups: What thoughts/feelings does each group member think they handle well/least well? What helps when you are feeling like this? How can we help each other when someone is struggling with these thoughts/feelings?
• Emotional intelligence: Which cards represent feelings you have often? Which feelings would you like to be able to manage better? What’s one thing you could do today towards making this change?
