Colorcards – Family Issues

This is a set of full colour cards showing 36 different issues illustrating diverse family life and experience. A collection of 36 cards designed to generate discussion covering thirty-six topics and issues faced by all or some family members. Each card provides the opportunity to tackle a different subject including: sibling rivalry; parental divorce; domestic violence; depression; elderly relative with dementia; drug addiction; alcoholism; child abuse; eating disorders; redundancy; and broken Heart.

The cards have been divided into four specific groups – some being relevant to one, more or all of these highlighted areas: Relationships; Behaviour; Memorable Events; and Feelings and Emotions. The cards can be used in a number of arenas – from one to one conversation with therapists to general discussions to create awareness of significant moments and situations – for example in a PHSE setting. The broad range of topics covered provides extensive opportunities to explore relevant issues.
