How do you calm down when you’re feeling overwhelmed? NAMI Next Gen Advisor Maya walks through an activity to help young people develop coping strategies.

Sometimes our senses can become overwhelmed by our surroundings or big emotions. Creating a Pause Pouch can help students calm down or hit ‘reset’ during intense moments. Through the Pause Pouch activity, young people can create and design their own pouch, filling it with items that connect to the five senses and help them re-center their emotions.

NAMI Creative Mindsets is a set of ready-to-use activities designed to help middle and high school students (grades 6–12) explore their thoughts and feelings through creativity.
