Practitioners can print and use the sheets to introduce a feelings group in a clear, structured way, especially with adults or young people who benefit from Easy Read style materials, visual prompts and straightforward language. The content is suited to learning disability services, mental health groups, social care settings and supported living teams working on emotional regulation, coping with feelings, communication and social skills.
The mindfulness skills module starts with an information sheet explaining what the group is for, how long the programme may last and what participants can expect. It reassures people that there will be talking and games, that they do not have to talk about their past, and that small practice tasks may be given with support available. This makes it useful as a first-session handout for group members, carers, support workers or family members who want to understand the purpose of the programme.
Several group rules pages are included, with picture-supported statements such as trying to be honest, taking turns to talk, listening to each other, respecting others, sharing feelings, arriving on time, keeping things confidential, and avoiding swearing, fighting and shouting. The rules sheets include space for a name and signature, so they can be used as a group agreement or behaviour contract during emotional wellbeing sessions.
A practice task called “How I became me” uses a simple bio-social layout to help someone identify things that have been part of them since they were young, alongside important life experiences that have shaped who they are. Prompts encourage reflection on traits such as being talkative, shy or emotionally sensitive, as well as school, friendships, where someone lived and how they were treated by others.
The thoughts, feelings and actions worksheet gives a concrete example of separating what someone thinks, what they feel and what they do. With prompts such as “I thought”, “I felt” and “I did”, plus illustrations of emotions, body feelings and behaviour, it can support one-to-one work, group discussion or home practice for people learning to notice links between thoughts, emotions and actions.
