Free coping skills worksheets you can print tonight
peer-written, plain-language, kitchen-table tested
These aren't clinical handouts. They're the pages I made for myself and then started handing out — grounding steps, grief prompts, nervous-system basics. Print them, photocopy them for your group, write in the margins.

Common questions
- Are these really free?
- Yes. Every worksheet on this page is free to download, print, and photocopy. Some send by email so you get the newer version when I revise it; nothing costs money.
- Can I use these in a group, a class, or a treatment program?
- Yes — print all you want for groups, classes, jail programs, church groups, or your own clients. Please leave my name on the footer so people can find the rest.
- Who wrote them?
- Briana F. Harden, CPS-MH — a Certified Peer Specialist in Glynn County, Georgia, writing from lived experience of recovery, grief, and poverty, not from a textbook.
- Are these a replacement for therapy?
- No. They're peer-written tools for the days between appointments — or for when you don't have an appointment yet. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 first.
- What if I can't print?
- Most of these work fine written into a notebook. Read the prompt, write your answer on any paper you have. The page isn't the point; the practice is.
