Anxiety Solutions for Kids
50 Ways to Ride the Wave

Anxiety Solutions for Kids is a set of 50 cards with simple, practical, creative and fun activities for children who experience worry or anxiety from time to time.
For most people, flashes of worry, nervousness or apprehension happen every now and then. Such experiences serve us very well—they are part of a healthy warning system that develops as we learn from experience. However, sometimes worry can become an unwanted habit and cause all kinds of discomfort. This is when it tips over into anxiety and can become an excruciating and debilitating experience—wreaking havoc in mind, body and soul.
Many children experience anxiety. Whether it is anxiety caused by a particularly challenging circumstance, or generalised, free-floating worry for no apparent reason, this experience can be excruciating.
These cards are based on solution-focussed, strengths-based techniques used by experienced clinical psychologist, Selina Byrne, to help children with worry and anxiety, and to build their wellbeing and resilience. The techniques arise out of solution-focussed, strengths-based approaches, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), brain research, optimism theory, mindfulness practices, interpersonal therapy and behaviour models.
Combined with the delightful illustrations of Katie Jardine, these cards are perfect for 3 -14 year-olds.

Art Therapy Cards for Children

These 22 colorful cards provide creative ideas for art therapy with children aged 4-11.

Applicable for a wide range of group and individual therapeutic settings, the activities are grouped into four themes: feelings, relationships, the body, and imagination. They can help children to express themselves, gain confidence, understand and transform their behavior and emotions, and connect with their bodies.
An accompanying booklet explains each prompt, its aims, the materials needed and potential benefits. It also flags activities that can be used to address specific issues, such as anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem.

Body Signals
Butterflies? Goosebumps? Beating heart?

Our body signals let us know when we're feeling stressed or unsafe, often before our conscious mind has time to think. That's why body signals are sometimes called 'early warning signs', and they're crucial for staying safe, navigating feelings and recovering from trauma.
This marvellous mob of meerkat characters will delight children, young people and adults alike with their expressions, gestures and antics. No one does hyper-alertness like meerkats, but wait 'til you see them with goose bumps, pounding hearts, knocking knees - and loads of other body signals associated with fight, flight, freeze or flop.
Displayed cards show - frozen - can't breath, hyperventilating -goosebumps hair standing up - butterflies - hollow empty - holding breath - running away fleeing - wide-eyed staring. 40 laminated cards.

Cars 'R' Us

Cars 'R' Us is built around a fleet of very human-looking cars demonstrating a range of emotions in everyday situations. Bursting with personality and fun, this resource is based on the idea that cars can reflect our nature - complete with our idiosyncrasies, foibles and predicaments. These delightfully humourous, full-colour car characters provide rich metaphors for what it is to be human; to have good days and bad days, to make mistakes, celebrate successes and, above all, to be actively making choices.
The Cars 'R' Us kit suggests many great questions we can use to ensure we are in the driver's seat of our own car, with a tank full of fuel, a well-tuned engine, an effective map of our journey, and a safe set of tyres. Based on Glasser's Choice Theory these cards can be used quite simply with younger children, or in more involved ways with older age-groups. An Innovative Resources product.

Choosing Strengths

Everyone has strengths! Sometimes they are hidden and sometimes they shine like blazing lights. And sometimes, especially when things get tough, we may wonder where our strengths have gone!
We may think of strengths as qualities we inherit (such as patience, resilience or kindness), resources we gather (such as a house, a computer or a car) or skills we learn as we journey through life (such as a profession or other skills and talents such as fixing an engine, growing a garden or casting a fishing line). But we can also think of our strengths as choices we make.
We can choose to see ourselves as a �victim� or a �survivor�. We can choose to see the glass half-full or half-empty. We can choose to see ourselves as possessing hopes, dreams and untapped potential or as filled with deficits and problems. We can choose to focus on and practise a particular strength from a huge array of potential strengths. Choosing Strengths is a set of 36 beautifully presented cards.

Cope Cards for Little Kids

Bob Bellhouse, Adrian Osborne
Being able to solve problems and cope with difficulties are key developmental skills. They are fundamental to developing resilience and autonomy. When children are in their early years, they need the support of adults to develop these skills. Through kindergarten, transition to school and the early years, the sorts of social issues many children are grappling with include:
Learning basic social skills like; manners, smiling, welcoming, asking, appreciating
Learning about cooperative play; being aware of self and others, sharing and taking turns
Learning about fairness and being considerate
Learning to follow rules Learning how to be assertive; asking others to stop and how to join in.
The Cope Cards for Little Kids have been developed to help scaffold the teaching and learning process. They use soft friendly colours and a friendly 'monkey' character to engage children. They are intended to aid learning by providing a vocabulary; acting as a prompt; and providing a scaffold for thinking. The cards cover both helpful and unhelpful strategies and come with a comprehensive set of simple activities for use.

Funky Fish Feelings

These are fish with attitude, and some might bear an uncanny resemblance to people you know! Which one are you today? The flummoxed flounder? The cranky crab? What about the despondent dolphin or the shy shark?
These 48 quirky critters of the deep can be used in similar ways to The Bears and Stones …have feelings too! But each card also features a cute little seahorse named Farr Lapp, who plays the role of observer. Having an observer as a witness creates different ways of building conversations, and can turn a two-person dialogue into a ‘trialogue’.
What do you think the seahorse is seeing? Do you think the seahorse could have a different perspective from yours? If the seahorse knows the fish really well, might this change his response to the emotion displayed? Funky Fish Feelings will find many creative uses in the hands of teachers and human service workers, and the cards are ideal for icebreakers, storytelling, family sculpting exercises and therapeutic conversations. So whether you’re sailing on the high seas or paddling in the shallows, take a dip below the foam and say hello to these fabulous aquatic personalities!

Mindful Reminders Card Deck - for Teens and Adults

Mindfulness on the Go

Includes 52 Cards and a 64-Page Illustrated Book, All in a Flip-Top Box with an Easel to Display Your Mindfulness Cards

Discover how to be mindful wherever you are - at home or work, on your daily commute or while travelling.
It is often challenging to weave mindfulness into our day as we get caught up in the busyness of life. It can feel overwhelming sometimes to know what to do and how to start doing something different and having to decide stops us doing anything at all. Mindfulness on the Go is designed to address this problem. The illustrated book introduces the essential pillars of mindfulness and how to cultivate it and the 52 cards offer a day-by-day invitation to put it into practice. There are two types of card: practice cards are mini meditations to do while you are out and about, and activity cards focus more on becoming aware of your habitual patterns of behaviour, as well as ways that mindfulness can help you to cultivate new one. You can deliberately choose an activity or practice card, or leave it up to chance. Picking a card randomly removes the decision-making and encourages a willingness to try what is suggested regardless of personal preference, thereby gently encouraging you to move out of your comfort zone. By focusing on just one thing per day, it makes it easier to remember rather than just feeling you should be mindful all the time. As you become familiar with the type of practices, you will find that you begin to do them without the card prompts, and mindfulness will become part of your daily life.

Next Steps

The power and purpose behind simple, immediate steps: a mental health tool for everyone!

Ever felt stuck and wondered what the next step might be? Beginning with one or two simple, practical steps is often the best way to gather momentum. Perhaps our task today is simply to get out of bed or open the curtains or have a shower? Perhaps it is to call a friend or make an appointment or go for a walk? Using full-colour photographs of everyday objects and activities, these cards present an accessible way for anyone to identify one or more achievable steps they can take this afternoon, tomorrow or next week. These cards are invaluable in settings such as mental health, family services, counselling and emergency support.
Spread the cards out:
* Is there a next step you would like to take first? What would come next?
* Can you choose one or more cards that represent things you find easy or pleasant to do? Which ones show things that have helped in the past? Would you like to try one of them again?
Imagine you woke up tomorrow and your best hopes were realised. Can you see a card that represents the next step you would take?
Pull out the four time-frame cards (Now, Today, Tomorrow and This Week) and match each one with a next step you would like to take.

Positive Parenting

The Positive Parenting cards will be a wonderful tool for opening up conversations and storytelling with parents about their experiences, struggles, ideas, and hopes for their children and for themselves as parents.
Each card features an original line drawing by artist Anna Marrone, of an everyday object that can be found in many family homes, such as a toaster, a ball, a shoe, a pet’s bowl, a sandwich, a toothbrush or a garden spade.

Stones Have Feelings Too

Knowing and understanding our feelings is important for healthy relationships. Being able to communicate feelings, and to 'reframe' them is at the heart of emotional literacy. In this pack of cards are 52 quirky, engaging, happy, sad, afraid, joyful and simply outrageous 'stone' characters who can help increase our understanding and recognition of feelings. These 'stoney' characters are brimming with emotions and their facial expressions and body language convey how they feel. There are no words on the front of the card, just the stones in all their 'feeling' glory. Flip the card over and there are three possible words for the feeling. Hopefully these words will help build a broader vocabulary of feelings and help show the often fine differences between degrees of feeling. An Innovative Resources product.

Vision for Supervision

Do you provide supervision? Or receive supervision from others?
Supervision plays a pivotal role in the professional development of social workers, psychologists, counsellors, managers, health practitioners, life coaches and other human service professionals. At its best, supervision can be a powerful crucible of discovery and learning for both supervisor and practitioner�with the benefits also flowing on to clients.
A Vision for Supervision is a new way of encapsulating �good practice� in human services work. Blending ideas from the complementary worlds of solution-focused and strengths-based practice, this unique resource invites both supervisors and practitioners to stretch their reflection and conversation. A Vision for Supervision consists of 40 cards arranged in 5 colour-coded suits:
Beginning: Establishing a relationship
Contexting: Identifying our accountability
Sharpening the Focus: Making each session count
Widening the Lens: Mapping our professional development
Ending: Celebrating the journey
Each card explores a different topic, such as �Hopes and plans�, �Present situation�, �What worked?� and �Noticing success�. Together, the 40 cards provide 160 strengths-based, reflective questions for building your supervision conversations from start to finish.
Use these cards to explore expectations of supervision, roles and responsibilities, or to introduce a touch of novelty into an existing supervisory relationship. A Vision for Supervision is ideal for supervisors and practitioners to use for reflection between supervision sessions, or as a reminder of the salient themes to explore during supervision sessions.

Walking the Boundaries
Exploring everyday ethics in human services

Every human service profession, organisation and business is governed by the laws of the land. Most are held accountable to codes of conduct created from within their organisation or profession as well. But many practitioners—including social workers, counsellors, teachers and carers—face dozens of everyday ethical decisions regarding both clients and colleagues that may not be clear cut. What do you do when decisions call for actions that are not defined by the law or enshrined within a code of conduct? When there is no absolute right or wrong answer, where do you draw the boundaries? Walking the Boundaries offers 80 probing, surprising, challenging—even confronting—questions that reflect the ambiguities and complexities of professional practice. Designed by social workers for all human service practitioners.
Walking the Boundaries is not just about ‘doing no harm’ to clients, examining codes of conduct, or protecting practitioners from liability or litigation. This powerful, provocative set of cards is designed to help build the skills, knowledge, self-awareness and professional transparency that lie at the heart of respectful practice.
