I AM: The Workbook
A guided tool to help you understand who you are, how you feel, and how to ask for the support you deserve.
Discover your voice. Understand your emotions. Learn how to ask for help.
I AM is a self-discovery workbook designed to help readers — especially adolescents and young adults — build emotional awareness and self-advocacy skills.
Through guided reflections and practical exercises, you’ll learn how to:
Recognize who you are beyond labels and expectations.
Identify and name your emotions.
Understand what kind of support you need.
Develop the language and confidence to reach out for help.
Each section is structured to help you grow step-by-step — from self-awareness to self-expression — giving you the tools to strengthen your mental wellness and your relationships.
What’s Inside
Four sections designed to guide you toward clarity, confidence, and connection.
Who Am I? Identify yourself beyond external labels. Rewrite negative beliefs and refocus on your strengths and identity.
How Do I Feel? Explore your emotions and learn where they come from, creating emotional awareness and understanding.
What Support Am I Looking For? Understand the different types of support — emotional, practical, professional, and social — to determine what you need most.
How Do I Advocate for Myself? Develop communication tools to express your needs clearly and ask for help effectively, using guided practice scripts.
From Francesca Reicherter
When I created I AM, I wanted to design a tool I wish I had when I was learning how to ask for help. So many of us grow up believing we have to navigate hard feelings alone — but we don’t.
This workbook helps you put language to your emotions and your needs so that you can reach out with confidence and clarity. You don’t have to have it all figured out — you just have to take the first step.
With warmth and hope,
Francesca
