This is our Unmasking me pupil leaflet.
This gentle, child-friendly leaflet is designed to help pupils explore and understand the experience of masking. This is the act of hiding or changing parts of yourself to fit in, stay safe, or avoid judgement.
Created with neurodivergent children in mind (including those with autism, ADHD, or school-based anxiety), the leaflet uses kind, accessible language and affirming visuals to help children feel seen and supported.
Perfect for use in:
Elsa sessions
1:1 pastoral or SEN support
Mental health or wellbeing lessons
At home with parents or carers
