New Helper's First Year

What it is

The first year is a lot: new people, new rules, hard stories, and a learning curve nobody can skip. This workbook gives you ten quiet minutes a week to notice what you're learning, what you need, and how far you've come. One prompt a week, split into four seasons that match how a first year usually feels, with tools you'll print again and again.

What's included

• Start here: how to use it, who it's for, and "no streaks here" (skip a week, or five, and pick back up)
• My Year Ring: shade one of 52 segments each week you check in, plus a "day one me" page to reread in week 40
• Things I Wish I Knew: The Work (8 plain truths from helpers who have been there)
• Things I Wish I Knew: Me in the Work (8 more, about the person doing the work)
• 4 season openers: Arriving, Finding My Feet, Getting Steady, Looking Back. Each one has what's often normal right now, a focus for the season, and space for your own
• 52 weekly reflection prompts with a date line and writing space for each
• Supervision Prep sheet: what went well, where I'm stuck, my questions, how I'm doing, what I need from this meeting, and what we agreed
• My Wins Log: write the wins nobody sees and sort them as people, skill, system, or got-through-it
• Boundaries + Self-Care Check: 13 statements you rate once a season, four columns on one page, so you can see which way things are drifting
• Dear Next New Helper: a letter page for the end of the year, plus "year two, in one sentence"
