Full-resolution WebP artwork with print-safe margins. Review the guidance below before use.

How to use it

  1. Choose a scenario card or create your own.
  2. On one side, notice the prediction or what-if thought; on the other, list what is known right now.
  3. Add what remains uncertain and choose a next step only if one is useful.

Reflection prompts

  • What is known, predicted, and still uncertain?
  • Is the concern realistic, possible, or hard to assess?
  • What response respects both the evidence and your need for support?

Facilitator guidance

Validate uncertainty and realistic risk rather than using present evidence to dismiss concern. Support practical planning when a concern is credible or more information is needed.

Adaptations & accessibility

  • Use fictional or low-stakes examples before personal scenarios.
  • Complete one side verbally and one with images.
  • Add an uncertainty column or not enough information card.
