Built with young people. Grounded in evidence. Made for real life.
Take Charge! grew from a simple problem: children experiencing fatigue needed something designed for them, not another generic fact sheet.
Why Take Charge! started
Children and young people with disability can experience fatigue that affects school, friendships, rehabilitation, family life and the things they want to do.
We wanted to create a resource designed around how children and young people actually learn, communicate and live.
(people working together)
Before building anything, we listened.
Young people, parents and clinicians worked together to understand what was missing, what fatigue really looks like in everyday life and what a useful resource would need to do.
(with the number of co-design workshops and steering committee meetings)
Take Charge! sits where evidence, experience and clinical expertise meet.
Lived experience
What children, young people and families say fatigue is actually like, and what they wish other people understood.
Research evidence
What research tells us about fatigue, self-management and developmentally responsive digital intervention.
Clinical expertise
What clinicians know works and doesn’t work in practice.
