Foundational Toolkit

Grounding support to reduce overwhelm and help you orient yourself. This bundle is designed for the earliest stage of the return-to-work transition — when everything feels heavy, and you're not sure where to begin.

These tools help you slow down, cover the essentials, identify support, and regain a sense of control.

HERE'S WHAT'S INCLUDED:

Return to Work Checklist - A step-by-step guide to help you organize conversations, logistics, and priorities before your first day back.
Mindful Return Toolkit - Reflection prompts and grounding exercises to help you process emotions and re-enter work with clarity instead of pressure.
My Village Support Map - A simple visual tool to identify who can support you at home and at work — so you don’t carry everything alone.
Childcare Decision Planner - Compare childcare options, estimate costs, interview nannies with built-in prompts, and find care that fits your family's budget, schedule, and real life.
Return to Work Communication Templates - Done-for-you scripts and prompts to help you confidently reset expectations with your manager and team.

Best for parents preparing to return or in their first weeks back who want clarity without pressure.

Instead of piecing together support one phase at a time, the full toolkit gives you one cohesive system you can move through at your own pace.
