Does this sound familiar?

Messages go unanswered

We explore: what makes replying hard, and a reply that feels doable.

Your team can: send one clear next step and a named contact.

A visit feels too much

We explore: noise, travel, not knowing what will happen.

Your team can: share the plan, place and access options before the day.

Falling behind and avoiding a tutor

We explore: asking for help without explaining everything at once.

Your team can: offer a private chat and clear options.

“What support do you need?”

We explore: everyday examples, then one change to try.

Your team can: offer real choices and check if they help.

Questions about Finding My Steady For Emerging Adults & Students

Who is Finding My Steady for emerging adults and students for?

Young adults aged 16 to 25. It suits young people moving into work, training or learning, and students balancing study with everyday life.

What are the two routes?

My next step is for young people moving into work or learning. Study and everyday life is for students at college or university. Both routes use the same six modules.

How long does the programme take?

Five months. One module opens each month, and the last two open together in month five.

Do young people have to be on video?

No. Group sessions are optional, and nobody ever has to be on video.

Do young people need a diagnosis to take part?

No. You don’t need a diagnosis. It’s not only for neurodivergent young people. It’s for anyone who wants to understand different needs, including their own.

Is there support for staff?

Yes. A companion session helps tutors, key workers and mentors make practical changes, like sending one clear next step or sharing plans before a visit.

How can our college, university or service use it?

It’s sold by licence. Many organisations start with a pilot: 15 to 25 young adults on one route. Contact us for licence options and prices.

Is this crisis support?

No. Finding My Steady is not crisis support. If someone needs help now, call NHS 111, contact their GP, or call Samaritans free on 116 123.
