State needs and agree on helpful support · S7.2

Tell a support person what you need now

You want help without having to explain the full background.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Choose words for your present need, such as company, quiet, help with a task, or a pause.
2. Ask an available person for that specific support and check what they can offer.
3. Choose the next step from their answer or your existing support arrangements.

An example

I do not want to discuss details. Could you sit nearby while I decide what I need?

Reflect

Was the request clear enough to answer?

Next time

Keep useful wording accessible without using a universal distress score.
