The Creative Coping Toolkit: Simple Activities That Gamify Talking About Our Feelings

From Filmmaker and IndieFlix CEO & Co-Founder Scilla Andreen and Illustrator Jerrin Padre, The Creative Coping Toolkit (CCT) helps people of all ages talk about their feelings, connect with friends and family, and nurture an empathetic community. Comprised of 10 simple activities, the CCT is full of effective resources to manage doubt and anxiety, nourish the heart and mind, better communicate with near and dear ones, and normalize the conversation around mental health at home, school, or work.

Scilla Andreen is an award-winning filmmaker, popular speaker, mother of six, and the creator of the Creative Coping Toolkit, a film and evidence-based mental health education program used in schools, workplaces, and communities around the world. She has spent more than a decade working alongside educators, brain scientists, mental health professionals, and families to make talking about our feelings easier, more accessible, and even fun. Her work blends storytelling with simple, science-based tools that help people notice what they're feeling, interrupt negative thinking, and shift their internal state toward calm, clarity, focus, and joy.
