First-Time Rider’s Guide

You might be sitting in a waiting room, reading test results, or trying to hold it together in front of your kids. 

You’re overwhelmed, unsure what to ask, and everything feels too fast and too uncertain.

You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

The First-Time Rider’s Guide is a structured, expert-led support program created for people who are newly diagnosed or currently in treatment. 

It gives you real, evidence-based tools to steady yourself, make confident decisions, and feel a little less alone.

Everyone handles a diagnosis differently. That’s why we offer two levels of support:

• Self-paced learning modules created by a Clinical Psychologist
• A private online community (off social media)
• Tools for understanding your emotions, managing stress, and navigating the medical system

• Everything in Core Access
• Fortnightly live Q&A calls with a Clinical Psychologist
• Ask questions, get support, and feel grounded in real time

Change your access level at any time. There’s no lock-in—just flexible support when you need it.

The program includes a series of structured modules to help you feel more in control as you move through diagnosis and treatment.

• Finding Your Ground: Managing the first days after diagnosis
• Body & Mind: Listening to your body, preparing for procedures, and managing fatigue
• Emotional Wellbeing: Understanding fear, anxiety, and mood changes
• Taking Care of You: Identity, body image, and staying connected to what matters
• Family & Social Support: Talking to others, parenting, and boundary-setting
• Medical Navigation: Getting clear answers, asking the right questions, and advocating for yourself
• Accessing Professional Help: When and how to reach out for extra support

Each module includes short videos and practical PDFs—designed to support you without overwhelm.
