This is a thoughtful worksheet and psychoeducational tool that explores how emotional triggers develop, how they affect reactions, and ways to respond more mindfully instead of reactively.
It includes reflection exercises, trigger identification worksheets, and a simple grounding framework (Stop • Breathe • Notice • Reflect • Respond).
This can be a useful discussion tool for groups focused on mental health, substance use, emotional regulation, trauma, stress management, and self-awareness.

Introducing a new free Taking the Escalator infographic designed to support family addiction discussions and psychoeducation groups.
“The Family Experience with Addiction” explores some of the common emotional reactions families experience when supporting a loved one with a substance use disorder — including confusion, hypervigilance, emotional exhaustion, hope/disappointment cycles, boundary struggles, and learning healthier ways to cope.
Rather than presenting families as “in denial,” this resource takes a more compassionate and realistic approach: These are human reactions to chronic stress, fear, uncertainty, and emotional pain.
Great for:
Family groups
Psychoeducation

Sharing a free Motivational Interviewing-based worksheet from the Centre for Collaborative Motivational Interviewing that can work really well one-on-one with clients who are exploring health, wellness, stress reduction, or behavior change goals.
What I like about this one is that it helps break goals down into small, realistic action steps while also exploring confidence and follow-through in a supportive, non-confrontational way. It is also fillable/write-in friendly which makes it practical to use directly during sessions.

It can be surprisingly common how many clients in mental health and substance use treatment also have issues with sleep.
I found this free worksheet on improving sleep and thought it was worth sharing here. It’s practical and easy to use and it covers things like sleep habits, tracking patterns, and how stress and thoughts can keep the cycle going.
It could be a good fit for groups where low energy and poor sleep are clearly part of the picture.

There’s a lot in here that’s actually useful for both clinicians and clients that’s not overly complicated, but grounded in practical ideas. It covers things like:
Intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation (and why internal rewards tend to stick more)
Common reasons motivation drops (ability, control, value, interest)
Straightforward strategies to build momentum (small steps, routines, accountability)
A really nice breakdown of procrastination, including fear-based drivers and perfectionism
Practical tools like breaking tasks down, prioritizing, and the “5 more” rule to get started

This is something a little different. Below is a child-friendly worksheet that uses a simple, creative story to help young children understand addiction in their family including what it is, how it affects people, and why it’s not their fault.
This can be a helpful way to open the door to conversations that are often confusing, scary, or left unspoken, especially for younger children who may be quietly trying to make sense of things on their own.
Free below from the Oklahoma TF CBT site. Use it, share it, and adapt it however it best fits the families you work with.

One of the biggest mistakes clients in can make is thinking relapse “just happens.”
We know that it builds through patterns like isolation, resentment, poor sleep, defensiveness, and subtle shifts in thinking and behavior.
I came across this worksheet and wanted to share it with the group. It can help people spot those warning signs early and plan for high-risk situations...

Thank you for this little book to help young people understand addiction. I was also wanting to ask about our teenagers too who are struggling with understanding addiction can something be created for them as well?
