A first aid kit for your mind. This is where you start.
Life gets heavy. Notifications pile up, feelings sneak up on you, and sometimes you just need a moment to breathe and come back to yourself.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I designed the Coping Skills Starter Kit for exactly those moments. It's a compact collection of simple, effective tools to help you pause, reset, and remember that taking care of yourself doesn't have to be complicated.
This is your starting point. Everything in here is easy to use, easy to carry, and built for real life; not the highlight reel version of it.

💙 WHO THIS KIT IS FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For the person who knows they need better coping tools but doesn't know where to start. For the friend going through something hard. For the therapy client who could use a little support between sessions. For the person who keeps saying they'll take better care of themselves and finally means it.
And yes...for you. Especially you.
