Activist Self Care/Psych First Aid Pocket Guide
Front-to-back Pocket Guide 1.1 (pdf download)
In theory, this pocket guide is set up to be printed p1 on front, p 2 on back of 8.5 x 11 landscape orientation paper, then cut in half, the long way. It may not be set up just right, so I will try to post other versions for you to tinker with at will.
