Product Information

Emotional First Aid will give you some of the initial insights and tools that TLG use to support a child like Aimee.

com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US.

There couldn’t be a better time than October 2020, the Mental Health Month, to build one for ourselves. In a world of white noise it is often hard to hear - or even find - the mental health support you need. stop what you are doing, take a deep breath, as you breathe out (with a loud sigh if you aren’t in company, otherwise breathe out quietly). Hopefully we won’t face them very often (if at all), but knowing how we might respond can lend us an important degree of confidence and resilience. Emotional Self-check-in Tool: It can be helpful to engage in activities that help you identify your feelings so you can take steps that promote wellness: journal writing, art projects, meditation, or talking to trusted friends.

Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. Emotional Map: Having an overall goal for moving through this time with as much ease as possible can be beneficial. What matters is that we are prepared for such a situation and have some measures in place, so we can help ourselves. Either read them at random, using the cards to pay attention to your inner thoughts and feelings, or focus on specific cards that you identify with - no matter your approach these cards will allow you to better understand how your mind works, and help you develop positive coping strategies.As we strive towards a future where no child is without hope, we want to equip churches up and down the country to know how to spot the signs of emotional distress and respond to them effectively. This is a counterpart to that medical first aid kit, an emotional kit that provides a set of useful salves to some of life’s most challenging psychological situations. Keep a list of names and contact numbers of people who care about you and can cheer you up, so you can reach out to them. Something calming like music, coping statements, colouring sheets and pencils, scented hand cream, a fidget toy or a game. An Emotional First Aid Kit isn’t just for pandemics; it’s for any time in our lives when we feel overwhelmed or distressed, or when we’ve had a rough week and we crave for something to give us comfort and peace of mind, a sense of stimulation to keep on going, and something to rely on, to remind us of our strengths.

Look at a picture and describe every single thing in the picture, what colours, shapes, textures etc. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. Unforeseen times lead to uncertain mood and emotions, and an unpredictable response to the changes in us and our surroundings. Emotional Charger: Taking a 10-15 minute break when feeling overwhelmed can reduce feelings of being overwhelmed.I usually only prepare an emergency survival kit, but I have never thought about the importance of having an emotional first aid kit until I read this.

Intricate details; a shirt with a butter crust collar, and harmonious colour combinations; chestnut and earth tone florals are best appreciated up close. However, sometimes, you may have an emotional emergency and just like responding to a physical emergency, having the right Emotional First Aid Kit can help. The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings. Something cozy like a hot chocolate sachet, a book or magazine, a soft toy or essential oils to pop in a warm bath. This kit is an artful collection of some of what the wisest and kindest, most experienced and most thoughtful people might say to us if they were beside us in a crisis.

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! Make a care bundle consisting of face mask, bath salts, bubble wand, play dough and anything you think will help you achieve solace. Start to think about what tools you think would be helpful to get you through a difficult emotional time. Right now we are all affected in some way by the ongoing pandemic and the impact on health concerns, school learning environments, and economic instability.
