Medication Management Sorting Game

Medication Management Sorting Game – Group Counseling Activity

Make learning about mental health medications engaging and interactive with this sorting game designed for dual diagnosis group counseling. Participants match medication names, medication types, and symptom/instruction cards to improve knowledge and spark discussion.

Covers:

• Mood Stabilizers
• Antipsychotics
• Antidepressants
• Anti-Anxiety Medications
• Stimulants
• Sleep Aids

Perfect for:

• Adult dual diagnosis groups
• Inpatient or outpatient mental health programs
• Psychoeducation sessions

You’ll Get:

• Printable game cards for medication names, types, and symptoms/instructions
• Facilitator Notes with tips and follow-up discussion questions
• Blank cards to add your own medications or instructions

How It Works:

The counselor prints and cuts apart the cards ahead of time. During group, members work in pairs, small groups, or as a whole group to sort the symptom/instruction cards under the correct medication type. Some symptoms may fit more than one category — use this to highlight how real-life prescribing isn’t always one-to-one.

Why Facilitators Love It:

✔ Turns medication education into an interactive, client-centered activity

✔ Encourages discussion and peer learning

✔ Covers six major mental health medication categories

✔ Easy to customize with blank cards
