Choose Your Focus
Think about what you want readers to take away from your story.
Do you want to share a challenge you’ve overcome?
A proud achievement or milestone?
How support from CBIT has helped you?
Start With an Introduction
Introduce yourself (first name or nickname, age if you’re happy to share).
Briefly explain what happened and why you want to tell your story.
Tell Your Story
Write about your journey in your own words.
Focus on what you experienced, how it felt, and how you coped.
Include the positive and challenging moments (this helps others relate to you).
Keep sentences short and clear to make it easy to read.
Highlight Support and Impact
Share how CBIT, family, friends, or professionals helped you along the way.
Explain how support made a difference in your life.
End With a Message
Finish with something hopeful or encouraging for others.
You could share a tip, a reflection, or advice with other young people facing similar challenges.
Keep It Safe and Comfortable
Only include details you feel comfortable sharing.
Avoid including personal information like addresses or the full names of others.
We can help edit your post to make sure it’s clear, safe, and inspiring.
Length and Format
Aim for 400–600 words.
Use paragraphs and headings if it helps structure your story.
Feel free to include photos or drawings if you’d like to make it more personal.
We’re Here to Help
You don’t have to write it all at once; take your time.
CBIT can help with drafting, editing, or adding headings to make your story easier to read.

Remember: Your story matters, and by sharing it, you could help other children, young people, and families feel supported and understood.
