Welcome to the MRP Mental Health Clinical Resource Library, a growing collection of practical, evidence-informed resources for counselors, therapists, social workers, students, and other behavioral health professionals. With the exception of recommended books and some of the courses and interactive tools, all clinical resources are free.

In this resource library, you’ll find thousands of free resources, training materials, and plenty of useful finds from universities, government agencies, researchers, nonprofits, and trusted mental health organizations. This resource library primarily focuses on tools for adults and adolescents, although a smaller selection of materials for children and families is included.

Whether you’re teaching the next generation of counselors or preparing for your first clinical placement, finding reliable, practical resources shouldn’t require hours of searching.
The MRP Clinical Resource Library brings together thousands of mental health resources in one place, including assessment and screening tools, clinical worksheets, workbooks, treatment manuals, educational videos, interactive tools, and free training opportunities. It’s designed to support learning, skill development, and real-world clinical practice.
Counseling educators, program directors, and clinical supervisors are welcome to share this library with their students and supervisees. Feel free to link to it in course syllabi, learning management systems, university resource guides, practicum and internship materials, or other recommended resource lists.
The library is freely accessible, regularly updated, and intended to make quality mental health resources easier to find. Individual resources may have their own copyright, licensing, or professional-use restrictions, so please review those before using or distributing materials.
If you find the library useful, I encourage you to share it with others who might benefit. My hope is that it becomes a resource students return to throughout their training and well into their professional careers.

App Resource Library
There’s an app for just about everything, including quite a few that can actually be useful for mental health. This section of the resource library includes apps clients can use for things like coping, mood tracking, mindfulness, sleep, and behavior change, along with apps designed to make clinicians’ lives a little easier. I’ve divided them into two sections: apps for clients and apps for clinicians. As always, do a little digging before downloading or recommending an app, particularly when it comes to privacy, cost, and whether it actually does what it claims to do.
For evidence-based apps and reviews, visit One Mind PsyberGuide, a non-profit organization that evaluates mental health apps and then rates them based on credibility, user experience, transparency, and professional reviews, or the Mobile Health Index & Navigation Database (Mind Apps).

Free & Low-Cost Courses
This section of the resource library features free and low-cost courses, trainings, and learning opportunities covering mental health, counseling, substance use, and other topics relevant to behavioral health professionals.
It’s important to note that not all trainings are created equal. Always check to see if a training meets your state’s continuing education requirements. This information is typically available on the website of the state licensing board for your profession. To find NBCC-approved providers, search the ACEP directory here.
While I strive to provide credible and accurate resources, I recommend doing your own research to make sure a training is accredited by a reputable organization. Additionally, information linked to in this resource library may change over time.

I am providing these links for educational purposes only and in no way endorse any service or benefit from sharing these resources. If you have any questions about a particular training, contact the training provider directly.
This resource list is geared towards professional counselors in the US, but many of the courses offer board-approved CEs for social workers, psychologists, nurses, and more. Also, a few of the CE providers provide UK CPDs.

Guides/Handouts/Infographics
Need something useful you can actually hand to a client? This section of the resource library includes free guides, handouts, infographics, tip sheets, and other practical resources that make mental health topics easier to understand and apply.
Unlike many sites that group handouts and worksheets together, this site keeps them in two separate sections so you can quickly find the type of resource you need.
This section is for handouts and educational resources designed primarily to be read, shared, or used as a reference. If you’re looking for something more interactive, visit the separate Worksheets section of the resource library, which includes resources designed to be completed with pen and paper, used as part of an activity, or worked through during or between sessions.

Video Resource Library
Sometimes watching a 10-minute video beats reading another 40-page PDF. That’s why this resource library includes useful videos, lectures, demonstrations, and educational content on mental health, counseling, psychology, and clinical practice, whether you’re learning something new or looking for something worth sharing with a client.

Worksheet Resource Library
I am not benefiting financially or otherwise from the links in this list, and I am not affiliated with the companies or organizations whose links are included in this resource library. Also, I am not endorsing any products or services. I am simply sharing these links because I believe they may be useful to my readers; Mind Remake Project’s mission is to provide free mental health resources.
Sometimes the right worksheet can do what 20 minutes of explaining can’t. This section of the resource library includes free mental health worksheets, exercises, activities, and other interactive tools covering everything from CBT and coping skills to relationships, emotions, trauma, substance use, and self-discovery.
Unlike the Handouts section of the library, which contains educational materials designed primarily to be read, reviewed, or shared with clients, the resources here are meant to be worked through. Worksheets ask clients to actively participate—by writing, reflecting, identifying patterns, practicing a skill, answering questions, setting goals, tracking symptoms or behaviors, or completing a therapeutic exercise. In other words, these aren’t just resources to hand someone; they’re tools for helping clients put concepts into practice.
Whether you’re looking for an activity to use during your next session, something for a client to complete between sessions, or simply want to build your collection of practical clinical resources, there’s plenty here worth exploring.

In Closing

I hope this resource library makes it a little easier to find the mental health tools, information, and support you're looking for, whether you're a clinician, student, or someone interested in mental health and personal growth. This resource library is an ongoing project, and I'll continue adding new worksheets, assessments, workbooks, clinical tools, and other free or low-cost resources as I discover them. My goal is to make the Mind Remake Project Resource Library a comprehensive, accessible, and genuinely useful collection of mental health resources, all in one place. Be sure to bookmark this page and check back regularly for new additions. And if you know of a great resource that deserves a spot in the library, I'd love to hear about it!
Before You Go, Here's a Little Clinical Challenge
↑What Would You Say?
A Mini Challenge for Therapists

One Possible Therapeutic Response:
This is one possible approach, not necessarily the only appropriate response. Consider the client's circumstances and clinical needs.
