Why this toolbox matters
Give staff a simple language for values-led support.
DNAV is powerful because it is memorable. This toolbox helps staff use the model in real conversations without overcomplicating it or turning it into therapy-speak.
The tools support curiosity, noticing, values language and compassionate work with the Advisor voice — especially when a young person or adult is stuck, self-critical or disconnected from what matters.
What staff can use it for
- Use Discoverer questions to open up curiosity and possibility.
- Use Noticer prompts to support awareness without pressure.
- Work with Advisor language without shaming or arguing with it.
- Connect sessions back to values, strengths and small next steps.

What this toolbox helps staff do in practice
When someone says “I can’t”: respond to the Advisor without dismissing the fear.
When a session goes flat: use Discoverer prompts to explore options.
When emotions are high: use Noticer language to slow things down.
When planning next steps: connect action to values rather than compliance.
Value for teams: Teams get a values-led conversation aid that helps staff move from stuckness into curiosity, strengths and small next steps without turning everyday support into therapy-speak.
Who this toolbox is for
Practitioners, managers and frontline staff who need practice-ready prompts, scripts and reflective tools they can return to after training is complete.
