Steady Progress - Action Plan and Reflection Package
A Compass Back To Community Program
Turn goals into concrete steps and learn from each interaction with a clear, compassionate system.
This expanded package includes our “Beginning Steps” program by converting your reengagement goals into precise, actionable steps and adding a structured reflection process so every social attempt becomes an opportunity to learn and adjust. As this package provides guidance through all the stages of the Compass Back to Community Programme, it is ideal for people who want a higher level of implementation support and ongoing refinement.

Who will be invited or involved
What will happen, the purpose of the activity, and any rules or structures ( e.g., coffee, table seating, no photos).
Timing ( how long, start time, preparation time, and recovery/quiet time afterwards)
Boundaries to communicate (precise phrases or topics to avoid, signal for pause, or leaving plan)
Success markers: small, progress-focused measures (e.g., “completed planned time with one 10-minute break”, “left feeling no worse than before”, “used one practiced boundary phrase”. )
Sample Action Step:
Who: Very close friend
Activity: 30-minute walk in the neighborhood park; mostly listening; no family-history talk.
Prep: 10 minutes breathing practice beforehand
Recovery: 20 minutes quiet at home with tea
Boundaries: “I’m happy to catch up about day-to-day things; I’m not ready to talk about the loss today.”
Success markers: Completed 30 minutes and used the boundary phrase

After each reengagement step we follow a short, repeatable routine so your plan evolves based on real experience.
