Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Workbook

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is one of the most well-known theories in psychology. It is a five-tier model that shows our needs as humans and demonstrates how we are motivated to meet those needs.
Maslow’s theory is that when our basic needs are satisfied, it gives us the ability to focus on things higher up in the tiers.

At its core, self-care is the ability to meet our own needs. I wanted to explore how Maslow’s Hierarchy intersects with self-care (and mental health!) and how self-care can help us meet our essential needs.

Not only does this worksheet packet explore the tiers in a different way, it also gives examples of how it looks when these needs are not met in our lives.
