Tools to Take and Use

The Toolbox Series is designed to be a quick take-and-use tip, and you can find those in four places currently.  Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube. 

Each one is a video and has the same background as the picture on this post. 
​
The concept is we know that people are spending a lot of time on social media, and a lot of the messages they are seeing are just not positive.  These videos are designed to provide both an interrupt and a positive thing a person can do in the moment, and add to their skills to use another day.  Especially when we know that people are often coming to social media to "checkout" or avoid feeling, anxious or overwhelmed as examples.  

And in today's society where we continue to consume content in mere seconds, it's good to have easily consumable take and use tools.  What I have found is people need a lot more than "call or text 988" because they are not necessarily in crisis.  But they are in a place of not knowing how to shift to a more positive outlook or solution.  Plus being overwhelmed by a lot of do this and this and this and that -- less helpful too.  Instead a quick reminder, a take and use, or be able to revisit. 

I think being able to revisit is great because you can know there is a place you can go find a quick answer when you need it, and or to share with a friend, family member, or loved one when they need it.  You can also just take it and hit share when you are feeling like the overall vibe in your circle of influence can use another positive tool reminder.
