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. This 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.
