Resources should follow the Companion role

A Companion resource works best when the character’s role genuinely fits the activity. Consistent roles, visual identity and tone make the resource easier to recognise across the wider Companion Universe.

From browsing to something practical

Where to go when you are ready to use a resource

This page helps you understand the Companion pathways. The main Resource Library and Companion Corner are the practical places to continue.

Gentle Notice

Choose the resource that fits you — not the other way around

A planner, worksheet or Companion activity is a tool, not a test. Adapt it, use only the parts that help, or try a different format if something does not suit the way you think, communicate or manage energy.

Companion resources are educational and supportive. They do not replace personalised medical, mental-health, disability, legal or emergency support.

One useful tool is enough to begin
