Themes: Reflecting on one’s value, feeling needed, and belonging.

Participants: Any number, in person or online.

Materials: Paper, writing utensils.

Write, doodle and/or daydream about the following prompts. Then reflect in pairs, quads and/or as a group.

Consider a time in your life when your presence really mattered. What were the circumstances? How did you know? How did you respond?

When have others made it clear that they were counting on you, and how did that sense of being needed shape your choices or identity?

Who has helped you feel both valued and valuable, and what did they do that you might now offer to someone else?
