Are there times when you struggle to keep safe, cope or communicate when you feel overwhelmed or can’t process?

Here are seven types of cards: Safety, Connection, Needs, Sensory, Anticipate, Affirmation and Coping. These cards, available as PDFs, scroll easily on your phone and are designed for adults—especially neurodivergent adults—who may struggle to communicate or need support in times of need. Most sets offer a ready-made structure, with the last five cards in each set customizable. The coping cards set, however, is fully customisable—providing a blank space to jot down your own individual coping strategies. The cards are action tools, affirmations, or expressions of needs. They’re practical, effective, and always at hand—no scrambling needed. You can also share these with those close to you, so they understand how and when you might use them—or when you might need help from others.
