What is the Creative Coping Toolkit?

It is appropriate for ages 10+. Learn more about the impact, and for parent, educator, and student testimonials, watch here!
Excerpt from the Angst program: ‘It’s Just A Stomach Ache’
The program features real stories shared by adolescents, caregivers, parents, educators, brain scientists, and medical and mental health professionals. It addresses the brain science behind such topics as anxiety, bullying, social media addiction, digital citizenship, resilience, loneliness, mindfulness, belonging, character skill building, and connection.
Most importantly, we learn that we can address mental health and get help. It doesn't have to be scary or shameful. We are not alone. We are in this together.
The Creative Coping Toolkit (CCT) is COPPA, SOPA and FERPA compliant.
Impactful Fund is proudly partnered with the University of Washington, Seattle Children's Hospital, Commonsense Media, and NAMI WA.
This program is provided free of charge for our school communities. However you can support our work with a donation to Impactful Fund to keep the program free.. We need your help.

"The films were a powerful tool to help open up conversations about anxiety, digital citizenship, bullying, and belonging. The accompanying tools and resources made it easier to support our educators and keep the conversation going for students and their families."

"The Creative Coping Toolkit is chock full of examples, strategies, inspirational quotes, and games that people can play by themselves or with others, and is designed to inspire people to change the way they think, feel, and do. The CCT is an easy and fun way to inspire each other to think more rationally, change feelings, and be happier."
