Self-care tool kit
The Opportunity Project has partnered with a group of psychology students from Cape Breton University to develop a Self-Care Tool Kit
​
​
"The goal of this project is to provide a universal
self-care toolkit and workshop that can be moulded to any audience and is accessible to the public through organizations and online.
Our inspiration comes from the significance self-care plays in mental and physical wellness and the lack of generalized resources available."
This Self-Care Toolkit can also be found at sexualhealthmatters.ca
If you would like to host this toolkit on your website, email whitney@topyouth.ca
