Scenario Cards — Transitions

Change they did not choose and cannot undo.

A parent going to jail and coming home again, foster care and reunification, moves, remarriage, a death, losing the house, and the year everything happened at once.

Each card opens with a watercolour illustration and a handwritten caption. On the back: a short scenario in the client's own voice, four things they might realistically do, and a discussion prompt that moves the card from what happened to what it means.

The outcome reference sheet stays with you, so you decide when and whether to share what tends to follow each choice. No option is the correct one — every choice carries something, and that's where the conversation starts.

Kids and Teen are separately written and illustrated, not the same cards with harder words. Twenty cards rather than twelve. The Teen edition covers prison, housing instability, deportation, and being suddenly in charge.
