The DBT Assignment Workbook – This workbook offers 50 worksheets that will help clients learn strategies to manage their emotions in constructive ways, instead of turning to overeating, alcohol abuse, practicing unsafe sex, overspending, lashing out in anger, or other harmful behaviours. The worksheets complement the content you and your clients cover during your appointment, by providing homework for them to do between sessions. This workbook is divided into techniques covering each of the four DBT skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Each worksheet is written specifically for clients, in a manner that is practical, user-friendly, and easy to understand. While no single worksheet is effective for everyone, we are confident each client will discover techniques that inspire change.

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.
