The CopingCard worksheet library

The CopingCard library is a set of ready-made worksheets, written by CopingCard in its own words, that you can use with your clients. Any therapist of your practice can find them on Worksheets, next to your practice’s own forms. Each template exists in English and in Russian. By default the Worksheets page and the worksheet pickers show the templates in the portal’s language; tick Show worksheets in all languages to see every language.

To use one, click Use this template in its row. The Builder opens on a copy that becomes your practice’s own worksheet, so you can change any part of it before you save. The CopingCard original stays as it is. To give a client a paper copy of a worksheet with something to fill in, no score and no signature, click Print in its row: see Print a worksheet for a client. Then assign the copy as homework, and see what your client sent back. The Builder is explained in Create a worksheet.

Two markers in the tables below match the tags on the list. Signature means a consent form: the client signs it in the app by typing their full name. Repeatable means a journal: the client adds a new entry each time. A template with no marker is filled in once and sent.

Consent and intake forms are starting points for your practice to edit. What they must say depends on where you work, and each one carries a note to the practice at the top, to delete before you assign it. They are not legal advice.

Forms that go with the course of therapy: getting ready for a session, giving feedback on it, and planning how to stay well.
