Tools & Resources
Things to reach for, any time.
Quick tools
Pause & name it
Say out loud: 'This is a hard moment.' Naming it softens it.
Hand on heart
Place a hand on your chest, feel it warm, breathe slowly three times.
Cold water
Splash cool water on your face or hold something cold to calm your body.
Busy hands
Laundry, dishes, a puzzle, a walk — anything that brings you into now.
Only the next step
Don't plan the whole day. Just ask: what's the next small thing?
If you need someone now
Canada: call or text 988 (Suicide Crisis Helpline), any time.
USA: call or text 988.

Reaching out is strength, not weakness. 🤍
