View: What's In The Deck

Building awareness for one's emotions and coping effectively when activated are signs of emotional well-being. Healthy regulation of emotions is central toward this goal. All emotions are normal and serve a purpose. They are also the earliest indicators of unrest or disturbances related to people, places, things, or situations. If unregulated, they often precede and fuel unhealthy behaviors. This Facilitator Guide will help individuals build emotional awareness and develop healthy emotional regulation practices. 

Facilitator Guide — An essential companion to the Discovery Cards, the Facilitator Guide provides group leaders with everything needed to run structured, action-oriented sessions, including activity worksheets, and coaching tips. Discovery Cards are simple, practical, impactful, and increase engagement. Using color-categorized cards, group members will learn a model for Emotions & Feelings, what they are feeling in different situations, so they can better regulate their emotions. Discovery Cards increase engagement, participation, self-discovery, and spark great discussions in recovery group settings. For the best experience, buy a Group Kit, which includes everything you need to run an effective session.
