A5 mental health planner inserts for gentle daily care and support

This A5 mental health planner is a set of 32 undated inserts for A5 or Half Letter ring binders and discbound planners, each layout arranged as a calm two-page spread. The download includes an A5 PDF and a Half Letter PDF, and print-and-cut versions for A4 and Letter paper are included as well, with two pages on each sheet. Instant download, nothing is shipped.

Write it all down on a good day, so on a hard day you only have to open your binder.

How the A5 mental health planner supports you

Choose a calm moment to complete your wellbeing plan, your warning signs and your support contacts. That way the people, professionals and crisis line you may need are gathered together in one spot.

The daily check-in spread takes just a minute or two. The left page holds a mood scale from 1 to 10, energy, sleep, ten feeling words and care basics, and the right page asks what helped and for one small win. A weekly tracker, a weekly planner with a self-care line for each day and a monthly mood overview of 31 circles make patterns easier to spot and help you arrive at appointments with clear notes. Each page has a 14 mm inner margin that changes sides, so double-sided prints open as true spreads in the binder you already use.

Who these wellbeing inserts are for

• Anyone using a junior discbound planner, a half letter binder or an A5 6-ring binder who wants wellbeing pages inside the planner they carry every day
• People who like having their support contacts, coping ideas and wellbeing plan on paper and easy to find
• Anyone between appointments who wants to follow mood and sleep and arrive with clear notes and questions
• Anyone who would rather spend a few gentle minutes on a small, calm page than work through a large workbook

Design and printing

• Elegant and minimal: white pages with soft blush pink accents that use very little ink
• Generous margins on every page, so a home printer will not crop the edges
• Portrait pages in A5 at 148 x 210 mm and Half Letter at 5.5 x 8.5 in, with print-and-cut sheets sized for A4 or US Letter
• No dates, so you can begin any day and reprint the check-in, tracker and planner spreads whenever you need
• Mirrored margins: 14 mm on the binding side, sitting left on odd pages and right on even pages, plus 8 mm on the outside edge
• Writing lines at a 6.5 mm minimum and 8.5 pt or larger text, so small pages stay comfortable
• A dashed center line and cut ticks on every print-and-cut sheet, so one cut gives you two pages
• Keep it in a binder, clip it to a clipboard or have a print shop spiral bind it

Good to know

• The PDFs are meant for printing, not for use as a hyperlinked digital planner. Most note taking apps will still let you import them and write on the pages.
• This is a digital file. Nothing physical will be shipped.
• Printed colors may differ slightly from what you see on screen.
• For your personal use only. Please do not share, resell or pass the files on.
• Digital files cannot be returned, but if one does not open or print properly, email us and we will help right away.
• Ring spacing varies between brands, so the pages carry no punch marks. Punch the wide inner margin with your own A5 6-hole punch, junior punch or disc punch.
• This planner is a gentle tool for staying organized. It is not therapy or medical advice, it does not diagnose or treat anything, and it does not take the place of professional care.
• Please reach out to a crisis line or your local emergency services immediately if you are in crisis or in danger.
