These workbooks can help you get the skills you need to live a happier life. The workbooks are written in Easy Read and plain English.

There are 5 workbooks. It is a good idea to do the workbooks in order.

The workbooks are about:

  1. Healthy habits, things you can do every day that help you feel good.
  2. Emotions, which means the way you feel.
  3. Self talk, which means the way you talk to yourself in your head.
  4. Thinking first when you feel big emotions, so that you stay in control of what you do.
  5. Feeling happy.

The workbooks have advice and activities for you to try that practise skills for building a strong mind. You could read the books and practise the skills with a family member, friend or support person.

You can download the workbooks for free. But you have to fill in a form to get the workbooks. The form asks for your name and email address. It is your choice whether you want to share this information.
