Building Your Mental Health Toolkit Using Games
Found this simple but powerful card game that helps practice coping skills in a fun, low-pressure way!
Each card color and type prompts a different reflection:
- Red cards = Name your go-to coping strategies
- Black cards = Identify stressors/triggers (awareness is key!)
- Face cards = Remember your support system—who can you reach out to?
- Aces = Think of your safe spaces
What I love about this is how it normalizes talking about mental health through play. It's based on the GIVE skill framework and makes practicing emotional regulation feel natural instead of clinical.
Great for families, groups, or even solo reflection. Sometimes the best tools are the simplest ones.
What's one coping strategy you rely on when things get tough? 👇
