MindAid Coping Keys are a set of 20 coping keys, or cards, that contain helpful statements to assist individuals in coping effectively with emotionally difficult situations. They can be used by anyone, anytime as a personal support aid or in conjunction with psychological treatment.

The Coping Keys for the blues/depression help you cope with low self-esteem, rumination, managing common thinking traps (eg. self-blame) as well as helping you to engage in social support, emotional awareness and behavioural activation.

The MindAid Coping Keys use principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT. CBT is a form of psychological therapy based around helping you understand, manage and change your thoughts (cognitions) and actions (behaviour).

Keep the cards close by (eg. pocket, purse, car, desk, wallet etc) so that you can quickly refer to them both on a regular basis and as needed. You can remove a favourite card from the key ring to carry it with you or put it on a location where you will see it often, such as the fridge, on a mirror, on your computer screen etc.

Each pack of Coping Keys includes:

- 20 helpful coping statements to help manage low mood on full colour, PVC cards
- Instructions card
- Key ring - for easy removal of cards
- Packaged in a handy metal tin (9cm x 6cm)

Practical, discreet and portable design – keep the Coping Keys close by so you can refer to them often.

Think well, live well.
