Ten levels — each one gets a little harder and a little longer. Higher levels add "same words, kinder tone".
🛟 You always deserve to be treated with respect. If someone will not take your "no", or makes you feel unsafe, tell a staff member or someone you trust. It is never your fault.
A note for staff: this is a conversation starter for self-advocacy and communication — not a safeguarding tool or a replacement for real support. The "say no" scenes are kept everyday and gentle on purpose. Scenarios live in a clearly-marked, editable list at the top of the file; please adapt them for your consumers.
