Learn to be your own mental health hero with our coping toolkit
Do you have a loved one that’s struggling with their mental health? Do you feel unsure how to best support them? We created the I.A.M™ mental health kit to help young people and their loved ones learn how to manage big feelings at school, home or on the go. It's the perfect care pack for someone going through a tough time to show you really care.
The I.A.M™ Mental Health Coping Kit
-
Young people will discover a range of healthy coping mechanisms in our toolkit and coping plan. Having healthy ways to cope with distress can increase confidence in tough situations and help them live a meaningful life.
-
The I.A.M toolkit draws on psychology’s best therapeutic interventions to mange big feelings skilfully including Sensory Modulation, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (D.B.T) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (A.C.T) .
-
Each toolkit comes with our coping plan to help personalise the I.A.M kit to each young person’s specific needs and sensory preferences. This helps them learn to manage distress in a range of situations.
-
I Am Mindful has a partnership with The Melbourne Clinic (TMC) Psychiatric Hospital in Melbourne Australia. Together we have been researching the effectiveness of our toolkit through through the Department of Psychiatry at The University of Melbourne. Every kit purchased online and through schools helps us to gift a free kit and workshop to every young person under 25 admitted to the hospital to the Young Adult Emotion Management Program (YA-EMP) and Eating Disorder Program (EDP).

Mindful Sand
-
Our sand is used as a grounding tool to teach young people how to connect to the present moment and get unstuck from sticky thoughts. We do this through our video instructions and workbook included with the I.A.M Kit.
Mindful Oils
-
Our mindful oils help young people to learn and practice a distress tolerance skill called Paced Breathing which is drawn from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (D.B.T). The breathing sequence taught through our video instructions and interactive workbook help to activate the parasympathetic nervous system to reduce emotional pain.
On The Go Bag
-
Each I.A.M Kit includes an O.T.G Bag to take your positive, portable coping tools with you to manage tough times whenever and wherever
Coping Plan

Word Search
-
Replace negative, anxious thoughts with our mindful word search. Activities that busy the mind can help one avoid self-destructive behaviour until one is able to achieve emotion regulation.
Cold Mask
-
When we’re upset, our bodies often feel hot. To counter this, changing our body temperature will help to cool down—both physically and emotionally. Follow along with our video instructions and workbook to learn this incredible skill.

“I just wanted to tell you that I am so grateful for my I Am Mindful box, I still use it a couple of years on. I’ve been really struggling again this year and some of the only things that calmed me down were from the box. It really has helped me in times of distress. I hope you know how much I appreciate and all that you do to help others and raise awareness for mental health issues. 💛💛💛.”

"I tried the breathing skill with my IAM lavender essential oil the other day before school as I was starting to feel really overwhelmed, then at school had a panic attack and did the deep breathing again, this really helped as there was no one available to help me so I had to do it myself."

“The I.A.M Box is brilliant!! I only wish we had this toolkit sooner for my daughter when she was little, to help with her emotions, to recognise them and to process them in a healthy way. To develop these skills at a younger age is extremely beneficial. You’re having such a positive impact on young lives. Love the mask with the TIPP skill, it’s been keeping my daughter grounded. Keep up the good work!”
– Jenny, NSW (Parent)
How’s your mental health, mama?
As a parent, we know that when your child is struggling, you too are struggling. And we want you both to thrive. Gone are the days of feeling helpless and at a loss for what to do when your child feels out of control. Your new I.A.M Box will teach you both how to be your own mental health heroes.
I.A.M™ Schools
We are proud to work with schools in Australia to teach students and educators vital proactive, prevention focused mental health strategies that most young people don’t learn in school, from movies, or from their parents. We help equip schools with mental health strategies that shouldn’t have to take hitting rock bottom or studying psychology for years at university to acquire.
