activity library
Be prepared to deliver the right intervention at the right time.
CORE’s digital health
platform includes a
library of 550+ activities.
This comprehensive collection of skill-building interventions addresses the diverse needs of persons-served, with resources for all ages and stages of life.
The CORE Activity Library supports mental health professionals by providing hundreds of structured yet adaptable lesson plans, ensuring that sessions are planned and purposeful. This improves clinical outcomes for clients while reducing the risk of revenue recoupment for provider agencies.
For persons-served, CORE activities provide valuable opportunities for real-world skill development, complete with educational handouts to reinforce learning long after the session has ended.
An investment in CORE shows dedication to providing exceptional care for clients and a commitment to equipping direct-service professionals with robust clinical resources to guide their work.
The CORE Activity Library includes more than 550 activities for children, teens, parents, and adults, along with collections of activities for use in school-based settings and for individuals with developmental disabilities.
*more than half of all CORE activities have been translated into spanish.
The library is carefully organized by age, Skill-Cluster and topic area.
-
Psycho-Education
Individuals benefit from cultivating an understanding of their health and how various conditions impact their day-to-day lives.

To sustain recovery, individuals need to practice skills of daily living which promote self-reliance (e.g. paying bills, washing clothes, cooking).
-
Whole Health
A whole health approach to behavioral health means individuals work to understand and improve their mental and physical health.
Topic areas, or sub-clusters, provide an additional layer of organization within each Skill-Cluster. Topic areas covered include: coping skills, decision making, self-care, self-esteem, substance use, stress management, relationships, verbal skills, and dozens more.
lesson plans
The lesson plan format offers consistency while allowing each activity to be easily adapted to meet the unique needs, preferences and goals of each individual. The built-in flexibility also means that activities can be utilized in a variety of environments – from community-based behavioral health to residential group settings.
flexible formats
CORE activities are formatted as lesson plans. The first pages offer an overview, describe the skill being taught, and provide the professional with flexible suggestions for ways they could deliver the session. The final pages are handouts for the individual. These handouts include educational information and include opportunities for individuals to record their own ideas and preferences.
benefits:
In the ever-evolving field of mental health, professionals are continually seeking innovative ways to engage clients and promote self-reliance. One invaluable resource that supports these efforts is a comprehensive activity library, enabling professionals to spend less time researching and more time fostering meaningful interactions with their clients. By incorporating principles from evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing, these activities not only enhance the therapeutic experience but also cater to diverse communities, including Spanish-speaking populations. The result is a more organized, goal-oriented approach that encourages active client participation, hones essential life skills, and ultimately empowers individuals to apply these skills beyond the confines of therapy sessions, improving their overall quality of life.

FAQs
-
Yes. The library incudes filters for age and Skill-Cluster. There is also a keyword search function and the ability to search activities based on the unique number that CORE assigns to each activity. Users can also filter for activities that are available in both English and Spanish.

Yes. While lists of suggested activities are generated by completing CORE’s unique clinical decision-making process, users can bypass that process and go directly to the Activity Library.
CORE will soon be offering a version of the platform that includes access to ONLY the activity library. We encourage the use of our treatment planning tools to ensure that each session reflects medical necessity; however, we recognize the value of the Activity Library as its own resource. Reach out to info@percensyscore.com to inquire about subscription options for the CORE Activity Library.
-
Yes. Activities can be completed directly within the CORE platform – whether you’re working from a computer or smart device. Completed activities can then be downloaded and/or printed.
All CORE resources are optimized for printing prior to completion. CORE recognizes that even in today’s high-tech world, internet is not always available.

CORE activities are typically written for a specific age or for use in a specific setting. When we say activities are flexible, this is to emphasize that we encourage professionals to adapt activities based on the needs of the specific client(s) they’re working with. Activities even include a space for professionals to record adaptations and/or notes – with some activities also offering important notes or common suggestions for potentially useful adaptations. For example, a CORE activity found in the Adult, IADL Skill-Cluster addressing topics related to obtaining long-term housing could easily be adapted for use with a transition-age teen who may be preparing to live on his/her own for the first time.
