Problem
Individuals and communities often lack readily available, tangible tools to manage daily stressors and initiate conversations about mental well-being. The stigma surrounding mental health can prevent individuals from seeking help or openly discussing their struggles.
Solution
PASS Kits provide accessible, tangible self-care tools designed to help individuals and communities manage stress and promote mental health discussions. Each kit contains items designed to provide in-the-moment support and encourage proactive mental health management. The kits include items such as Re+Minders (flashcards with mental health advice), earplugs for blocking uncomfortable noises, a foam star for muscle relaxation, a sleeping mask for shielding light, and chewing gum for focus. PASS also offers individual PASS cards with targeted advice, such as managing eco-grief or screen time.
