A reflective, strengths-based resource to support self-understanding and emotional wellbeing for neurodivergent teens, teens with disability or those navigating big emotions.

Understanding Me: Teen Edition is a printable, teen-led workbook designed to help young people reflect on who they are, how they feel and what helps them thrive. Created by Calm Minds Clinic, this engaging resource supports emotional regulation, communication and self-awareness - offering teens a safe way to be seen, heard and better understood.

Whether used at home, in therapy or in educational settings, the booklet can be explored independently or alongside a psychologist, counsellor, support worker, educator or trusted adult. Once completed, it becomes a practical and compassionate tool - helping others better understand the teen’s needs, preferences and personal support strategies.

What brings comfort, stress or overwhelm
How they learn, communicate and self-regulate
What supports they find helpful in tricky moments
Their hopes, values, goals and identity

    Did you use ChatGPT to make this?

    • Hey!

      We did not. We also didn’t use it for the other resources we’ve developed either.

      Great question though, as I understand a lot of things are being developed using ChatGPT at the moment.

    So it's a pdf pamphlet ?

    Why is it a bargain ?

    • I've been on OzBargain long enough to know that this is exactly the right place to share this material.

      • From one teen to another

    • It will be a bargain. Come Thursday

    Wow. Ten bucks would be a stinking ripoff for this. For free it's still a bit expensive. Not sure how answering some questions that you could find on any "get to know you" exercise helps anyone with their neuro diversity.

      Thanks for the warning. Like many free offers, we may be the thing being sold. Unless the OP comes up with a good reason, I'll pass on this one.

    Pretty brutal comments, so I just wanted to balance it out by instead saying thank you to the OP for posting this. As a parent of a neurodiverse 12 yo who just had a massive breakdown 3 months ago and now as a family journeying through the myriad of a psychologist, psychiatrist and paediatricians dealing with scary issues of depression and suicidal Ideations, ANY help in ANY form is useful, no matter where it comes from. Having a look at what is on offer, this is a BIG help. I’ve done my fair share of internet research as a frantically worried parent out of his depth and I haven’t come across anything like this. Do I think it’s worth $10??? Sorry probably not, but as a free help that was available on OzBargain, it’s come at a fortuitous time, so I’ll take it as a bargain. To be fair to the OP, this was decently put together, maybe worth $4-5, or possibly more as other online resources are hidden behind paywalls and subscription based services but bottom line is I haven’t seen anything like this. I will be using it on my tweenager to help open up dialogue with him as I see some of the pages have found unique ways to allow him to express himself and on face value, it is a good resource. I’m sure I may get some follow up advertising via my email/phone - sure nothing comes for free, but geez I’ve put my burner emails and Phones for other similar “freebies” on OzB so happy to bite, and the info on their site seems legit child psychology. In short, can we be a little less harsh on the OP - if it’s not for you, move on. No need to be nasty, anyone working in the realm of child and adolescent psychology deserves a raise in my book. Just my 2 cents

    • I hear you, and as a parent of neurodiverse kids I had hoped to be able to upvote this deal and get a helpful resource.
      I was disappointed with it, I really don't think it meets the promise of

      reflective, strengths-based resource to support self-understanding and emotional wellbeing

      I feel like there's a lot of snake oil out there and over promising is actually less helpful. I'm 150% in favour of the professionals who help my family, but I think they missed the mark on this one.
