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. Learn how here.

EMBRACE kiddos, we want to know what you learned from our self-soothing video! Use your 5 senses to tell us and your family how you self-soothe. Learn more here.

Checkout our ‘Self-Soothe’ video on Facebook!

In addition, 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!

Email info@embracepittsburgh.org for contest rules.

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