coping kits for youth

Arbor Circle provides community-based mental health support to youth across West Michigan, offering counseling and supportive services that help young people navigate challenges and build healthy coping skills. We developed coping kits to provide practical tools for hard moments.

about the kits

Youth often experience anxiety or emotional escalation outside of schedule therapy sessions. Coping kits equip youth with evidence-informed tools that support grounding, self-regulation, and emotional calm during moments of distress. Each coping kit (approximately $40) contains a curated mix of sensory, tactile, and calming tools selected with youth input to support different coping needs. Kits are distributed during counseling and crisis-support encounters with guidance from licensed clinicians.
