💛 My Calm Down Toolkit – Printable Mental Health Card Set
Gentle, trauma-informed tools to help kids, teens, and adults regulate emotions — created with lived experience in mind.
This printable card set is designed to support emotional regulation in a way that’s friendly, non-clinical, and actually usable in real life. Whether you're a parent, teacher, carer, therapist, or someone just trying to get through the day — these calming tools are for you.
Each card uses simple, visual strategies inspired by DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), adapted by a mum and mental health advocate with lived experience of BPD, bipolar, neurodivergence, and parenting through it all.
