What we need on the table.
Thursday 25 June 2026 · Morning tea + light lunch at 11:50. Akaltye Room, Desert Knowledge Australia.
Critical safety alerts — read first
Nut-free room. One participant (Jordan / Jordy Sumner) has a confirmed nut allergy per dietician. No nuts, nut oils, nut butters, nut traces, "may contain" warnings, or shared-line products. Cross-check every label. EpiPen on site with support worker.
Mona Teamay — IDDSI Level 4 (pureed) food only, IDDSI Level 3 (moderately thick) fluids only. Either: (a) caterer provides one compliant plate + drink, or (b) Mona's support worker brings food and we provide the table setting + cutlery. Confirm with David Parker (CoLab) at 0474 888 790 before quoting.
Full dietary flags
| Participant | Dietary | What this means at the table |
|---|---|---|
| Brandon Williams | Reminder to stop eating when full | Prone to overeating. SW will gently cue when full. |
| Caleb McMillan | Food must be cut small | Food cut into small pieces (texture, not allergy). SW operates. |
| Jordan Sumner (Jordy) | Critical NUT ALLERGY — strict, per dietician | No nuts. Check every label. EpiPen with SW. |
| Michael Wallace | Encourage to eat | May forget to eat. Gentle reminder during the catering window. |
| Mona Teamay | Critical IDDSI Level 4 (pureed food) / IDDSI Level 3 (moderately thick fluids) | IDDSI 4 pureed food, IDDSI 3 thickened fluids. SW may bring food. |
Small Steps and First Steps
Two hours. The minute-by-minute facilitator script for M9.
Session purpose · three things to land
- Every participant breaks one goal into three small steps on the Small Steps ladder (P10 of the PATH BOOKLET) — smaller is better, and the steps are theirs.
- Every participant can picture their PATH Plan day: WHEN, WHO, COLOURS, WHAT TO BRING captured on the Getting Ready worksheet (P11), a date confirmed (or a follow-up call booked), and an invitation list started — with help to send the invites if they want it.
- Every participant leaves ready for their PATH Plan day — a personal Before/During/After plan for looking after themselves on the day (one thing circled per row) and the consent/photo form sorted.
- S6 closes plainly, not as a finale — a short forward bridge to the two remaining sessions (Professional Skills 2 Jul, Meetings 9 Jul) and each participant's PATH Plan day. The program farewell now lives at S8.
This is a handover session — people arrive as a group and leave as individual focus persons, each preparing for their own PATH Plan day. A rough ladder the participant owns beats a polished one we helped too much with. And mind the arc: M9 was written as the program's final group session ('nine weeks'), but for Cohort 1 it lands at S6 with M10 + M12 still to come — pitch the close as 'the PATH work is done', not 'goodbye forever', and adapt the nine-weeks count to our six sessions since 14 May.
Pre-session prep
- Confirm PATH Plan day dates for each participant (Trello PATH – Participants) — co-fac calls anyone whose date is not yet booked
- Print the booklets: PATH BOOKLET in colour, A4, saddle-stitched, 1 per participant; EXTRAS BOOKLET as needed
- Print the worksheets: M9_W1 Small Steps ladder ×3 per participant, M9_W2 Getting Ready ×1, M9_W3 Invitation template ×1 + spares, Looking-after-yourself (Before/During/After) ×1 + blank consent/photo-permission forms ×1, Layer 1 feedback forms ×1
- Confirm catering — cake / shared food if the cohort agreed at S5
- Confirm whether the cohort agreed to a group photo at S5; confirm any interpreter or family member attendance
- Metia + Mandy walk through the deck together — Mandy names where she will go first
- Re-read each participant's worksheet snapshots from S2–S5 (All About Me, Now, My Team, Keeping Strong, My Future) in the Trello record — bring forward any unfinished items so they can be picked up today before the PATH content closes
- Lock Mandy's picks: her 'one thing I've noticed' line, her one-small-step icebreaker sentence
- Pack the standard kit (markers, paper roll, sticky notes, camera, first aid, contact cards)
- Check the venue is booked 60 minutes longer than usual (extra setup before, debrief time after)
- 15-min huddle — last walk-through
- Both facilitators arrive 60 minutes early today (not the usual 30) — last PATH session, we set the room up well
- Booklets on chairs; M9_W1 + W2 + W3 + the looking-after-yourself sheets on the side table
- COLOUR CODED PATH wall poster (A2, DAS palette) taped up
- Tea / food / water on the side table
- Print and check the day-after SMS draft for each participant
- Test AV + load the M9 deck (do not depend on cloud); 30-min huddle Metia + Mandy

Mandy's choices to lock at alignment
| Choice | Options |
|---|---|
| Welcome wording + her 'one thing I've noticed' about the cohort | Her own words. Specific, not generic — one real observation from the weeks together. Locked at alignment, rehearsed not improvised. |
| Icebreaker model sentence (her one small step) | Drafted in advance — short, true, hers, present-tense. Example: "Since we started, I've begun speaking up at my house meeting." |
| Acknowledgement reader | Mandy / Metia / both — read the CRR-001 locked default wording either way, slower than usual |
| If unwell mid-session (like S1) | Steps out — Metia + Lukas continue. Acknowledge briefly, don't make a thing of it. |

Anticipated tricky moments
End-of-session checklist
- Each participant has their PATH BOOKLET with Small Steps (P10) + Getting Ready (P11) filled in
- Each participant's PATH Plan day date confirmed — or a follow-up call booked within 2 days to confirm it
- Each participant's invitation list captured (in their booklet or their Trello PATH – Participants record)
- Layer 1 per-session feedback collected in the box at the door — any RED faces raised at the debrief and followed up within 24h
- Cohort photo (if taken) saved to the DAS archive with the consent log
- Cake / shared food cleared. Room left tidier than we found it
- Co-fac debrief done (15 min, paid time)
- Day-after SMS sent to each participant within 24 hours (per 06_Post_Workshop_Follow_Up_Template.md)
- Trello PATH – Participants updated for each participant: PATH content complete — PATH Plan day [date] (cohort still meets for M10 + M12)
- CRR entries reviewed — any new cultural-content questions raised today logged to the Register and routed to the appropriate referee
- Layer 1 + 2 data filed; the Layer 3 end-of-program reflection is now captured at S8 — the full cohort report (Inclusion NT: CB&PLG MOU + PATH MOU + DEX) is aggregated after S8
- M9 worksheet pile (W1, W2, W4) prepared for Mandy in menu-of-options form — peer review for the NEXT cohort's M9 build, not inspection of these participants' private sheets
- Each participant has their Looking-after-yourself sheet (one thing circled per row) and their consent + photo-permission form signed for their PATH Plan day
Small Steps and First Steps
Thursday 25 June 2026 · 11:00–13:00 · Akaltye Room, Desert Knowledge Australia
Timeline
| Time | What | Who leads |
|---|---|---|
| 11:00–11:10 10 min | Welcome + Acknowledgement From M9 · slow this one — it's the last PATH welcome | Mandy (welcome) + agreed reader (Acknowledgement) |
| 11:10–11:25 15 min | Icebreaker — one small step you've taken From M9 · one short true sentence each · ties to today's Small Steps theme | Mandy (models first) |
| 11:25–11:45 20 min | PATH refresher + the map shape From M9 · the COLOUR CODED PATH poster on the wall | Metia (Mandy adds where it fits) |
| 11:45–12:00 15 min | Activity 1 — Small Steps ladder (P10) From M9 · M9_W1 (3 copies each — drafts are fine), final into the booklet | Both walk the room — Mandy helps with smaller-is-better |
| 12:00–12:15 15 min | Break Break + shared food Tea · food · water · cake if the cohort agreed at S5 | — |
| 12:15–12:35 20 min | Activity 2 — Getting Ready for your PATH Plan (P11) From M9 · M9_W2 · WHEN / WHO / COLOURS / WHAT TO BRING | Both — Mandy scribes where preferred |
| 12:35–12:55 20 min | Looking after yourself for your PATH Plan day From M10 'Looking after myself' (Before/During/After) · its weaving-guide Week-9 home · PATH-Plan-day prep | Metia frames · Mandy scribes the flipchart |
| 12:55–13:00 5 min | What's next — see you in two weeks S6 close · NO program ceremony — the farewell now lives at S8, the last session | Mandy (Metia supports) |
What we keep vs hold over
- Nothing compressed — M9 runs as a single module in its native 2hr shape (the first session of the program that doesn't fold two modules)
- Both worksheet activities protected: Small Steps ladder (P10) + Getting Ready for your PATH Plan (P11) — WHEN confirmed before anyone leaves
- Layer 3 end-of-program reflection in pairs — full 20 minutes; it's the program's evaluation backbone
- S6 close: the plain forward bridge + the looking-after-yourself block — keep it light. The program close (standing ovation, leave-behind handover) now lives at S8, where it's never trimmed
- Easy Read variant — a separate Phase 6 build (slides at 28pt+, one worksheet question per A4 page, sticker-and-arrow Likert on M9_W4, bigger ladder rungs); the current deck is 18pt minimum body
- Invitation sending — the list is captured today; actually sending the invites (with help where wanted) happens in the follow-up window over the next two weeks
- EXTRAS BOOKLET 9-week — offered as a take-home for whoever wants one, not worked through in-room
- Day-after SMS — post-session follow-up per 06_Post_Workshop_Follow_Up_Template.md (the end-of-program letter now posts after S8)
- How much 'final goodbye' weight stays at S6 — M9 was authored as the last group session, but Cohort 1 meets twice more (M10 2 Jul, M12 9 Jul); the split between today's PATH-arc close and the S8 program close is an alignment decision
- Mandy's menu-of-options peer review of the M9 worksheet pile (W1, W2, W4) — after today, for the NEXT cohort's M9 build, not these participants' private sheets
