Here's A Quick Look At Our Most Popular Mental Health Board Games.

FEELOPOLY:

FEELOPOLY is a game about identifying, validating, and coping with emotions. It is a spin on the popular game Monopoly. As players move around the board, the goal is to validate each emotion they land on. Players will learn how to identify different feelings and coping skills, recognize the physical sensations that varying emotions evoke, and validate their own, and others, feelings.

COPING SKILLS GAME SHOW:

Coping Skills Game Show (inspired by Jeopardy) covers skills and ideas based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It works well with groups that have some mental health awareness already, or it can be used as a teaching tool to teach more of the concepts. Available at Amazon.
