Our Mission

In a world that is challenging for everyone and particularly challenging for the developing minds of children and adults living in adverse situations, accessible tools are needed. The Mental health sector in the United States is bulging at the seams with a dramatic increase in patients suffering from a host of anxiety disorders. According to the US. Census bureau more than 1/3 of those surveyed were experiencing anxiety or depression. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) report in June of 2020, 40% of US adults reported to be struggling with mental health or substance abuse issues. There has been a dramatic increase in the percentage of both youth and adults being prescribed medications like Prozac. Kaiser clinicians report that demand is so high that children and adults with serious mental health needs, including schizophrenia, anxiety and severe depression, are often waiting 6 to 8 weeks — sometimes longer — to see a therapist. Link. These statistics reveal that there is a high demand for readily available, affordable, well-informed tools to support communities, families and people of all ages with an accessible, safe, therapeutic tool set.  Our Resiliency Flash tools provide effective, accessible, researched-based, go-to tools. These affordable Resiliency Tools can be safely distributed by health care providers, schools, and faith-based organizations to facilitate families and care providers. They can be kept at the ready and are effective in curbing the effects of PTSD, anxiety and worry in all ages.  We are living in stressful and often traumatic times and learning and employing coping strategies is essential to building resiliency in everyone's everyday lives. All of us could use these go to reminder strategies that can effectively calm us down and comfort us. This support makes us more resilient to the inevitable challenges of life.
