An interactive guide to help teens notice burnout, understand it, and find their own way back to having energy
Burnout can creep up quietly. Recharge helps neurodivergent teens make sense of what’s happening when their battery runs low. It doesn’t treat burnout as a personal failing. It treats it as a signal that demands and support are out of balance.
Recharge is built around relatable character scenarios. Teens practise helping someone else first, then turn that kindness towards themselves.
Inside, teens will:
- Sort burnout myths from facts and learn what burnout actually is
- Spot the clues in Jada’s week, then explore what burnout feels like for them
- Map their energy across the week, including what drains them and what recharges them
- Help Ellie find words for when talking feels too hard, and build their own ready-to-go words
- Help Rosie reset, then choose resets that suit them
- Explore what slow, gentle recovery can look like
- Bring it all together in a personal recharge plan they can save as a PDF
Built on what matters:
- Rest doesn’t have to be earned.
- There’s no single right way to recover, so teens choose what fits them.
- Recovery isn’t the young person’s job alone. Recharge invites the adults and environments around them to help too.
- There are no scores, ratings or right answers. Feedback explains rather than judges.
- It’s neuroaffirming, research-informed and created by clinical psychologists.
Great for: neurodivergent teens to use on their own, with a parent, or alongside a psychologist, school counsellor or OT. Clinicians can use it in session or set it between sessions.
Private by design: no names or identifying details are collected. Answers stay on the device being used and aren’t sent to Pocket Psych or anyone else. Recharge is for education and reflection. It isn’t an assessment, diagnosis or treatment.
