Summary
The Creative Coping Toolkit (CCT) is a year-long film-based program that educates students on complex topics and includes empowering strategies and practical tips on supporting positive behavioral health by addressing anxiety, online safety, bullying, loneliness, addiction, help-seeking behavior, resilience, connection, and belonging. CCT is designed to be highly adaptable, with a modular structure that allows educators to customize lessons based on their classroom needs. The core program includes 6-10 flexible lessons per theme, depending on the selected film (Angst, LIKE, The Upstanders, or Race to Be Human), along with a range of supplemental materials such as quick-start guides, discussion prompts, mindfulness activities, and reflection exercises. Additional resources can be layered in or adjusted to meet the specific social-emotional and mental health goals of a school or district.
