Free printable family meeting kit (PDF)

Write down who committed to which tasks, and what to do when family won't help.

What’s the catch?

There is none. It’s a free PDF, no email required, and we won’t follow up with anything. If it’s useful to you, share it with someone else who needs it.

Does everyone need a copy?

Print one for each person coming to the meeting. You fill in the claiming sheet as a group.

Can I share or photocopy it?

Yes. You can copy it and hand it out.

Can I use it on my phone or computer?

You can use both. You might just need to install a free PDF viewer on your phone.

What if I don't have a printer?

You can fill it in on your computer using a PDF app and save it. Libraries and pharmacies have print counters if you need a paper copy later.

Pass the kit along to another family who needs it.

Page five covers what to do when nobody wants to help.
