The cards are currently in Microsoft Word format for speed of downloading.

For instructions on how to use these tools you will need to see Preventing Breakdown.

Just print the cards onto coloured paper and cut them out.

We use Blue for Strengths, Yellow for Values and Pink for Goals.

I have provided the Goals Cards in a booklet format as well, this can be useful to leave as motivational homework with families.

Print the pages off, staple them together and give each member a booklet.

(yes I know... it needs some updating as there are some duplications in there)
