Humans Against Stress: A Creative and Therapeutic Card Game for Older Teens and Adults
Humans Against Stress is a printable card game designed to help clients explore coping skills in an engaging and supportive way. It’s inspired by familiar matchup games like Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity, but has its own therapeutic spin.
Whether used with individuals, couples, or groups, this versatile game fosters problem-solving, emotional awareness, and meaningful discussions about managing life’s challenges.
The game includes typically adult-life challenges that relate to work or relationships, so is a good match for older teens and adults. That being said, you can customize the game and add your own cards, and most of the coping skills are appropriate for all ages, so it may be adaptable for a younger audience.
What Makes It Unique:
Humans Against Stress blends therapeutic principles with a structured yet flexible format to encourage participation, reduce resistance, and create a safe space for clients to explore their stressors.
How It Works:
Challenge Cards present a variety of realistic scenarios for discussion and problem-solving.
Skill Cards offer practical and creative coping strategies to spark ideas and conversations.
Clients can also create their own coping strategies with customizable blank cards, making the game personalized and empowering.
Virtual Adaptation:
Virtual flashcards are included (as a PDF) so you scroll through and project full-screen challenge and skill cards. This may not work the same as the printable game, but you can still present challenges and/or coping skills cards for your client or the group to review and discuss. Ideas are included with the instructions!
