EMBRACE Pittsburgh and The Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation are here to help you Cope with COVID. Together, we’ve created a series of videos – MindHacks – that include skills and drills to help you through this stressful time. Our friends, Troy Polamalu, Colby Armstrong and Bryan Rust appear in the first video and share tips on how to self-soothe, one of our favorite skills.

MindHacks is a series of short-form family-oriented videos that offer coping skills based from dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).

For every SHARE of EMBRACE’s ‘Self-Soothing MindHack’ video on Facebook, we will make a $4.12 donation to the Pittsburgh Foundation’s Emergency Action Fund, where mental health is a key priority, up to $41,200. Find it here, to help us contribute!

Self-Soothing
Parents, you are your child’s role model. Be sure to practice your own self-soothing skills and make time to talk to your kids about COVID, when they are ready. See Video
