Every space is different. These toolkits are flexible by design so you can use them in ways that feel natural to your students and staff.
Here are a few examples:
In a Classroom
A teacher uses Feelings Jenga as part of a weekly activity. Students begin to build the language to express how they’re feeling without it turning into a heavy or clinical conversation.
In a School Counselor’s Office
A student who feels overwhelmed uses the Breathing Buddy to regulate before opening up. Tools like the Sun Scale can help counselors begin a check-in conversation as relaxed, approachable entry point into deeper conversation.
In an After-School or Youth Program
Staff incorporate the toolkit into group time, giving students a chance to connect with each other in a low-pressure way. Activities like the Creative Building Set offer a calming reset after a long day at school.
In Community or Youth Centers
The toolkit can become part of a shared space where students can engage at their own pace – whether it’s quietly using a tool on their own or participating in group activities, like Conversation Cubes, that build trust and connection.
These tools do not require rigid programming or consist of one-time activities. They’re tools your team can return to, and that students can use – again and again – as needed.
