Abby’s Impact: Building your mental health toolbox
When we focus on our physical and mental well-being, we can be present, build confidence, strengthen our relationships, learn about our values, and prioritize them to make the right choices for us. That’s where the JFS Abby’s Impact: Realizing Resilience program can help anyone over 14 work on individual growth, build a peer support system, and strive to increase resilience and thrive.
Our learner-centered mental health education program provides a framework for dealing with daily stress and life’s struggles. It offers participants evidenced-based resources and tools to facilitate resilience so they can build their own mental health toolboxes. Participants will:
Build their mental health toolbox with practical skills and techniques for managing stress and responding to negative emotions. Resilience skills sessions are available now, with topics such as self-compassion, mindfulness, communication skills, and more.
Learn valuable life skills in areas such as financial literacy, career readiness, and more.
Explore resources in the community and make personal connections with your peers.
It’s easy to get started with Abby’s Impact; just join us for a quick intro session. The initial Introduction to Abby’s Impact: The What, Why, and How of Building Your Resiliency Toolbox class is 75 minutes, and we will discuss stress, including the science behind when it’s helpful and when it becomes a problem, as well as how learning and practicing resilience skills can help our overall well-being and details of what you can learn through the Abby’s Impact program. After attending this session, you can enroll in other Abby’s Impact programming. There is no commitment to take additional classes after the introductory session, but the initial course ensures everyone moves ahead with the same information.
Our virtual classes are free to participants, with funding provided from Colorado Department of Human Services and private donors. All sessions are taught by a resiliency instructor and are designed to encourage a community feel, help participants build deeper connections, and foster communication.
