Life can be a lot. And part of managing your worry is paying attention to what your mind and body need in order to feel okay. An 'OK Kit' can help you remember all the good things in your life — and in you — so you can face each day with calm and courage. And it's a great way to start conversations with the ones you love, and build that support system! That way, when worries or challenging moments come your way, you’ll be better able to get through them. What should you keep inside your kit? Anything that reminds you of your calm, strong, creative and courageous self! This program is for kids and families, tweens and teens. All materials for making the kit will be provided, but please think about the things in your life that bring you strength, calm, and joy. Think about specific people, places, activities, animals, belongings, sounds, smells, memories... anything really! If there are specific images or small things you want to include in your kit right away, please bring them with you!
