There are no rules around this; you can personalise your kit however you like and include whatever pleases you and brings you joy.

From helpful sleep tips to words on struggles with friendships, The School of Life brings us another treasure.

Underpinned by impeccable craftsmanship and a beloved desire for comfort, each piece is soft to touch, and cut to flatter — thoughtful details designed to give the Aimé woman a sense of calm and confidence. Think about what you might like to put in yours and where you might need to keep it – you may need one for school and one for home!Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy. Hopefully we won’t face them very often (if at all), but knowing how me might respond can lend us an important degree of confidence and resilience.

This box may not contain band aids or antiseptic wipes but it is ready to deliver some urgent care to your brain. Try adding an extra 30 minutes to sleep time and include a soothing activity before bed, such as listening to relaxing music, writing a gratitude list, or reading an inspirational book. I would love to have you come into our class next year or if I could get the emergency kit training I would so appreciate any information on it. Please Note: If you have already booked onto The Emotional Rollercoaster training (for working with children aged 8-14), it covers the content of Emotional First Aid as well. Dr Emma Hepburn is a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist with over 15 years experience of working with and treating mental health difficulties in both the public and private sector.A grounding object such as a polished pebble or a small ball – just squeezing the ball or moving the pebble around in your hand, paying attention to your physical reaction can help calm emotions. Personalised advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out.

If you are looking for some community, emotional emergency kit skills, and even, dare I say, play and joy this month, come join us in one of our programs for girls, families, or professionals. Talking about self-care to adopters is all very well and good but we know that they often find it impossible to share the depths of their emotional worries or mental health spirals, due to being scared of social workers condemning them as bad parents, so I think this card deck is a super useful way of naming some of the complexities of mental and emotional health and reassuring that these are OK, we can work through it together, and that professionals want to help. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. In a world of white noise it is often hard to hear – or even find – the mental health support you need.This checklist will give you ideas about tools you can use when you are feeling anxious, low or stressed. Save a few pictures to remind you of some of the most beautiful memories in your life to be your anchor to the good times. FREE online training to help you spot the signs of emotional distress in children and adults, and know how to respond to them effectively. Then gather all these tools together and make sure that you keep it with you at times when you anticipate you will feel, low, anxious or stressed. Have an object in your hand and think about the situation that’s causing you to feel low, anxious or stressed and rate it out of 10.
