Support / Using the resources

Make it useful
for your group.

Use a resource on your own, bring it to a meeting, or work through it with a friend. You don’t have to read everything before trying something.

Discuss before deciding.
Ask someone in your group what they think. Use a practice example to test different responses before deciding what you’ll do.

Helping someone
else learn?
