This comprehensive toolkit consists of a 30-session program organized into three key sections: 'Me & My Mental Health,' 'Relationships & Communication Skills,' and 'My Toolkit for Wellbeing & Future Health.' The primary aim is to empower girls to cultivate good mental health, fostering autonomy, emotional resilience, and open communication.

Our resource has been thoughtfully designed to be ASD-friendly, incorporating explicit objectives, reinforcement strategies, clear language, concrete examples, role-play, structure, and routine, all with a keen focus on self-awareness. Additionally, it includes a comprehensive PowerPoint Training Session for educators and caregivers.

The activities within the toolkit have been carefully curated to:

• Promote personal and social skill development.
• Enhance self-esteem and self-awareness.
• Encourage the exploration of various aspects of sexuality and healthy personal relationships.
• Foster personal responsibility for maintaining mental and physical health.
• Provide access to confidential local and national sources of information, support, and advice.

These sessions address contemporary and critical issues relevant to young people today, including topics like consent, safety, and the law in relationships, body image and obesity, self-respect and aspiration, stress and anxiety, media influence, self-harming behaviors, and more.

'The ASD Girls' Wellbeing Toolkit' is a crucial resource that will significantly contribute to the emotional resilience and overall well-being of girls with autism. This valuable toolkit has been awarded the 2020 Education Book of the Year by the Education Resources Awards (ERA) and recognized as a finalist for the 2020 Special Needs Resource of the Year.
