There's a group, https://thepluralassociation.org, who's giving out some resources if you sign up for their email newsletter during DID Awareness Week (aka this week). Signed up and took a quick skim, it's legitimate. Same people behind http://powertotheplurals.com. Bit messy, but since English isn't their first language it's understandable.

Stuff included (pulled from their table of contents):

Tool 1 - Weekly chores:
This is a chores list, but can also be used for other tracking purposes, that you can work on together with headmates. Instead of marking a task simply complete, the idea is to mark with an initial. If you like you can also work with a reward system. Littles (or anyone really!) could use stickers to mark chores they did as well. It has a little note section which can also be used to ask for help if the system struggles with internal communication or amnesia.

Tool 2 - Fronting chart:
This tool is provided with two different background colors to save you printing ink if needed. The idea is that when someone fronts, they can write their name and possibly the time. This way you can easily observe when you lost time and where the week went. It is not intended to schedule who fronts, although if your system benefits from that, go right ahead.

Tool 3 - goal planner:
The system goal setting planner will help systems to better achieve their goals. It promotes actively working together as headmates and is super versatile. On top of the tool, under the title, is a check box, that can be checked when the task is completed.

Tool 4 - Printable emergency card:
This doc comes with 2 printable emergency cards. One lets you explain what DID is, the other has a prewritten text with an explanation of what DID is. The prefilled explanation has some grounding tips and talks about a protector. The form has the option to fill in a name. If you like, you can put the name there of a protector or carer. If you feel it is safer to write down your legal name, that is of course possible.

Tool 5 - Get to know each other:
A list intended to get to know your system and headmates better. This is intended so you can make a booklet of all the people in your system. It might be useful to share it with your therapist but for your own safety we ask you to not share these lists online. This tool is available for free on the power to the plurals website but in this package it is included as a PDF and so much easier to print and fill in! It also has some bonus questions. This tool is available in different languages for free, but not in PDF format.

Tool 6 - Friends and loved ones:
An extra freeby, an easy to understand infographic that explains plurality to your friends and loved ones!

Tool 7 - Different types of headmates:
An extra freeby, an infographic about different types of headmates, that might give you new insights into your system.

It's mostly stuff geared towards DID, down to the language, but there's some stuff in their pack that could be used for other system types, and they've stated explicitly that they don't do the pissing matches.
