Recently, a client asked me for downloadable mental health worksheets.

“Any specific area of interest?” I asked.
“Not really,” they said. “I’d like information and inspiration that I can print out and hang up to remind me about what I’m working on.”

Such a great idea! Especially since it takes 1,500 repetitions to really learn something. Trauma and grief recovery is slow-slow-slow life-changing work. Every step forward is valuable.

A Place for Mental Health Reminders

In fact, this request for mental health worksheets reminded me that I have my own places for reminders, including the refrigerator door and a giant bulletin board in our dining room. Here, we put all kinds of stuff: quotes, pictures, stickers, directions for what we want to change, and more.

We also have a couple of strategically-placed white boards – man, I love a good white board. My most-utilized white board is in the kitchen, as I am in that room several times a day (LOL). Lately, I have reminders for the Four Agreements, grounding exercises, and house projects (these never end).

With a white board and/or bulletin board, you can change things up as needed, and see it all on a regular basis.

Free Mental Health Worksheets

Exploring on your own is invaluable. The work that we do together is one hour a week out of 168 total hours. That’s just not a lot of time.

Plus, it’s not like you will only have questions and emotions and other stuff bubbling up during that one hour a week that we work together. So I say, the more resources, the better.

Here are some free downloadable mental health worksheet resources that I found! I put them in order of how overwhelming they could get (at least for me).

Ineffable Living – I like this one because there’s a list of subjects that’s easy to navigate. Each subject is limited to one download, which helps keep us from an endless, triggering rabbit trail.

Get Self Help UK is a great resource for CBT skills that are presented in a visual way. One of my favorite skills is STOPP. Working on the STOP – creating a pause before reacting or responding – is an INVALUABLE skill.

Mind Remake Project has a list of 50 free mental health worksheets and handouts on a variety of subjects.

This resource is what I call Deep in the Weeds, meaning you can explore and rabbit trail to your heart’s content. Mental Health @ Home has A LOT of information, resources, downloads, quotes, and more in their Mental Health Coping Toolkit.

And even DEEPER in the Weeds – Mind Remake Project has a list of more than 200 sites with free mental health worksheets and handouts.
