I need a good project to do for relapse prevention?

I need a good project to do for relapse prevention?I am in clinicals and have asked this question before and only got one answer so hoping to get more this round. What is a project I can present to a class at the mental health hospital to the mentally ill to teach them how to prevent relapse. Prefer for it to be fun and creative.

How about having them write up their own support system for when they leave the hospital. This would include support groups, friends and family who are supportive, doctors, etc. Have them make up a fire drill. A fire drill is what they would do if they felt mental or like using drugs or alcohol. I use it with my clients. Here's an example.
Mike's Fire drill
If I feel uneasy or unsafe I will'
1. Call my doctor
2. Go to the ER
3. Call my parents
4. Call my support group
5. Go to a meeting
You would post the numbers, times, and places

I work in addictions but my clients also have a dual diagnosis. Having a written plan for support for when they get out is good and having a fire drill for the in case of emergency times is good too.
