What is the free Toolbox Project?

Empowering you to take responsibility for emotional health.

We help you identify strengths not weaknesses.

Achievements not failures, and if there are failures we help explore what was learnt and how to help you grow.

We help design management plans for you to be able to use in you day to day lives that can help you to keep emotionally well.

We help you build emotional resilience.

We encourage goal setting as a way to help you drive towards positive outcomes.

We teach you healthy coping strategies and techniques to be used effectively

We teach you relaxation techniques to help you reduce bad days and help maintain the good days

We signpost you to groups and services to help you find hobbies and pursue interests.

We help you to see the importance of looking after your emotional health.

“It has let me know about things that are out there that can help me and help other people. I wasn’t aware of all these places before today…”

1 in 4 people will experience mental illness at some point in their lives.

This is regardless of their job, income, gender, sexuality or age… It can happen to anyone. We all know someone who has been affected. Yet with some planning and some support, mental illness can be prevented.

Toolbox has helped a number of people to build their own plan dealing with emotions and preventing mental illness.
Now with this substantial and important funding, the charity will help more than two thousand people over the next four years.

An important aim of the charity and of the project is to support people to become volunteers, by way of offering assistance to gain qualifications, skills and experience. Local organisations and charities will benefit as well, having this service to refer people at risk of mental illness. Signpost Centre, Stafford, reported:

“Toolbox was introduced to us in a ‘non-pushy’ way and seemed very relevant and valuable to our clients to be able to access right away to help them with their emotional needs. It would enable them to have someone to talk to and information to learn about what help was available out there for them to maintain healthy levels of emotional well-being.”
