Family Roles Worksheets

Just in time for the holidays, here's a family roles worksheet packet (link to PDF) which originated who knows when/where, hosted by the Murrieta Valley Unified School District. (Murrieta's just north of Temecula, CA, if you were wondering.) The info and worksheet packet seems aimed at teachers of kids with alcoholic parents, but the genogram, the family dynamics sheets, etc. should all be useful to just about anyone. Enjoy the worksheets, enjoy the holidays.

Divorce Worksheets and Workbooks

Here's a topic not covered enough on these pages. There've been plenty of posts about making relationships work, about anger management, couples communication, and the like. But how to approach the end of a marriage? How to make a divorce work?

The web has some free worksheeted answers: Activities for helping children deal with divorce, financial planning docs from the Institute for Divorce Financial Analyts, a pair of WISH worksheets for kids from I Am a Child of Divorce.

And New Harbinger just put this out: Getting Through My Parent's Divorce -- A Workbook for Children Coping with Divorce, Parental Alienation, and Loyalty Conflicts.  Follow the Amazon link for more in the category. Could come in handy. Good luck.

DBT Skills Training Workbook

Some therapies are so worksheet friendly, they warrant a workbook. DBT is so worksheet friendly that there's a workbook written by the creator of the therapy, Marsha Linehan: DBT Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets.
