Our Impact

The Creative Coping Toolkit

iMPACTFUL created the CCT in collaboration with key experts from mental health and education institutions from around the world, including:

"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."

Dr. Jerry Bubrick
Senior Psychologist, Child Mind Institute

"This toolkit is a creative, thoughtful, and intelligently written gem for everyone navigating our increasingly complex world."

Andrea Downie
Co-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."

Emily Y. Wong
M.D., M.H.A., F.A.C.P.

"The Creative Coping Toolkit is a must-read for kids and families to help inform our behavior, decisions, and how we cope through these realities."
