iMPACTFUL's award-winning Creative Coping Toolkit (CCT) explores mental well-being, safety, and character-building skills to foster connection and accountability to drive lasting positive change for all ages. It is designed to bring about deeper learning, engagement, and lasting impact.
We invite you to sponsor year-round access to our CCT in order to make it free to states and measure its engagement in schools and underserved communities, who often struggle with access to mental health education and services.
iMPACTFUL's Creative Coping Toolkit (CCT) has sparked essential conversations and positive change worldwide, impacting society's perception of mental health. It all began with ANGST, a groundbreaking film addressing anxiety. This success led to LIKE, exploring social media addiction and online safety. The Upstanders followed, focusing on the power of peers to combat bullying. The latest addition to iMPACTFUL's CCT is RACE to Be Human, which delves into belonging, kindness, and empathy.
The films and accompanying activities teach resilience, accountability, empowerment, kindness, and social-emotional learning to students, their families, and educators. In turn, this addresses anxiety, social media addiction, bullying, and loneliness to foster connection and belonging among individuals.
