My Mind Toolkit: Practical Tools for Tough Thoughts, Difficult Feelings & Hard Days

Your mind doesn't come with an instruction manual. But you can build a toolkit. What can you do when worry won't switch off? What helps when everything feels too much? How can you talk about difficult feelings when you don't know what to say? My Mind Toolkit is a practical, friendly mental-health guide for young people aged 10-18. It helps children and teenagers understand their thoughts, feelings and reactions while building practical skills for difficult days. Inside are 66 practical tools, activities and check-ins covering worry and anxiety, low mood, anger, self-esteem, friendships, school stress, bullying, online life, grief, body image, coping skills, asking for help, supporting friends and staying safe. Written by Dr. Tinuola Gunwa-Ajayi, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, the book combines accessible explanations with practical strategies young people can use in everyday life. Whether you are a young person building your own mental-health toolkit, or a parent, carer, teacher or professional supporting one, this book offers a reassuring message: You don't have to figure it out alone.
