Psychologists, physicians and educators on the Creative Coping Toolkit.
Dr. Jerry BubrickFounding Senior Psychologist, Child Mind InstituteThis work is profoundly needed. The Toolkit is essential for every family.
This toolkit is a creative, thoughtful, and intelligently written gem for everyone navigating our increasingly complex world.
Andrea DownieCo-founding Director of Project Thrive Australia, Centre for Positive Psychology
The Creative Coping Toolkit is a beautifully simple, heart-warming approach to tackling some of the toughest issues we face growing up. We are taken by the hand and lightly walked through exercises like how to use language or art to express a mood or to effectively engage others in our journey to a better connection.

The Creative Coping Toolkit is a must for all to help inform our behavior, decisions, and how we cope with these realities.

Program by program
What each film program changed.
Survey results from viewers of each of the four programs.
Angst
95%
think Angst is helpful for kids and teens
- 82%are more likely to reach out to others struggling with anxiety
- 81%will adopt coping tools mentioned in the film
- 78%are more open to talking about anxiety
Angst is the most important, eye-opening documentary you will see this year… And every school and corporation needs to screen this film. It’s that important.
LIKE
94%
think LIKE should be shown at every organization or school
- 89%think LIKE is helpful for parents and adults
- 78%of viewers said they think social media is to blame for the rise of anxiety
- 70%will use social media differently after seeing LIKE
I am shocked at how moved, upset, and compelled to act I feel as a result of having seen this documentary. That LIKE will inspire you is an understatement. Quite simply, it’s the most important film I’ve ever seen.
The Upstanders
95%
said the program gave them helpful tools and tips on how to be an Upstander
- 94%think The Upstanders should be shown at every organization or school
- 92%intend to practice some of the tools and tips from the program
- 75%said The Upstanders changed the way they look at bullying behavior
What struck me is that we need a cultural shift in our school. I feel like we need to start emulating what we saw in the film – celebrating kindness, rather than consequences for mean behavior.
RACE to Be Human
100%
of educators thought the film and information were easy to follow
- 99%think RACE to Be Human is helpful for both teens and educators
- 95%of educators are more open to talking about race and racism in their school after watching
- 87%of educators think RACE to Be Human should be required viewing in schools
This is a powerful film. It’s impossible to watch and not feel like you’re having a mirror held up in front of you… This is an important tool for self-reflection when it comes to experience about race.
Every figure here is a participant survey result for the program it sits under — what people said after taking part, not a measure we took ourselves.
At work
What workplace leaders say.
Benefits and well-being teams on what the film programs did inside their organizations.
Allison StarkManager, Global Wellness, Hewlett Packard EnterpriseAngst had a huge ripple down effect…it has probably saved a couple of lives within our organization as it got people to reach out and start talking.
Don’t be afraid to offer the films or resources or do something a little different for your employees to encourage your population base to listen to each other, to ask for help, to know about your resources.
Julie KrauseBenefits Manager, Microsoft Global Wellness
We almost have a duty as leaders and as organizations to be doing more and to be talking about this on a regular basis.
Jen FisherUS Chief Well-Being Officer, Deloitte Services LP
If we realize that caring about our employees is not just offering services but also understanding and knowing them, that’s when we achieve greatness.
