Building your coping toolbox? Save this post so you can come back whenever anxiety feels heavy. Anxiety is something many teens experience. From fast houghts, a tight chest, to feeling worried all the time. The good news is that there are simple tools that can help you feel calmer and more in control. Swipe through for a “coping toolbox," a set of strategies you can reach for when anxiety feels overwhelming, whether it’s kept in a real box, a bag, your phone, or even your mind. 💛 💡If you are a young person up until the age of 18, or a parent/caregiver of a child under 18 who requires additional help, contact Front Door to Child and Youth Mental Health at 519-749-2932 or visit www.frontdoormentalhealth.com. #StarlingMentalHealthServices #CopingToolbox #MentalHealthMatters #Anxiety #WaterlooRegion
