Free mental health worksheets for adults, teens and kids

A mental health worksheet is a single page that asks you a few gentle questions or walks you through one small exercise. Some help you understand a feeling (a mood or anxiety scale), some help you act on it (a worry plan or a bare-minimum day), and some simply give your mind a quiet job, like colouring.

The trick is to pick one sheet for one need, rather than printing a stack and feeling behind. Fill it in when the feeling is fresh, keep it somewhere you'll see it, and come back to it in a few days. Notice what's changed, even if it's small.

These are self-help tools, not medical advice or a diagnosis. If things feel heavy for more than a couple of weeks, or you're struggling to cope, it's worth talking to your GP alongside anything you try here.

Start with The Mindmallow Starter Map, a free one-page way to see where you're at and what might help first. For a busy, noisy head, The Brain Dump → Do (also free) gets everything out of your mind and onto paper, then helps you pick one thing.

For anxious or overwhelmed days, the free colouring pages are a gentle place to land: Breathe In, Breathe Out, Take It Slow, Stay Present, Take a Moment for You and Be Kind to Your Mind. There's more on why colouring helps in colouring pages for anxiety and calm.

The free tools work right in your browser with no sign-up: a brain dump, a task breakdown, a focus timer and a dopamine menu maker. Everything that's free lives together on the free page.

Beat the Blank Page is free and made for teenagers who freeze at the start of homework or revision. It breaks the first step into something small enough to actually begin, which takes a surprising amount of pressure off.

Teens can also use the free colouring pages and the free tools on their own phone. If you're a parent or teacher looking for more, the teen feelings section has a mood scale and a sheet for turning down big feelings, written in plain, non-patronising language.

For young people, a worksheet is a conversation starter, not a test. Let them fill it in privately if they'd rather, and only share what they choose to.

Kids' worksheets are designed to be done with a grown-up, not handed over to complete alone. Our Together-Time Menu is free and helps you and your child choose small, connecting things to do together, which is often the best support for feelings of all.

My Morning Chart is also free and takes some of the stress out of mornings with simple picture-style steps. Fewer battles at the door can make a real difference to how the whole day feels.

When your child is ready to talk about feelings, the kid feelings section has a feelings thermometer, a calm-down plan and a worry scale, all meant to be filled in side by side with you. For a by-age guide (KS1, KS2 and KS3) and tips for using worksheets in class or a group, see mental health worksheets for kids and teens.

Anxiety: start with the free colouring pages or read how to calm anxiety fast, then try The Worry Window or the full anxiety range. Low mood: The Bare-Minimum Day and how to function on a bad mental health day.

Self-esteem: Evidence You Matter or The Inner Critic Talkback. Overwhelm: the free brain dump first, then The Overwhelm Triage if you need more structure.

Check-ins: the scales (anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, self-esteem) help you put a number on how you feel and notice patterns over weeks. Only the items marked free above are free; the rest are paid, and every one can be filled in online or printed.
