EMBRACE Pittsburgh and The Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation are here to help you cope with life. 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).
