Empowering Every Classroom
The Creative Coping Toolkit (CCT) is a film and evidence-based mental health literacy program that addresses anxiety, loneliness, suicide, social media addiction, bullying and belonging.

Impactful Fund Initiatives
Storytelling outperforms curriculum when teaching mental health.
We support free access to The Creative Coping Toolkit for schools and under-served communities across the country.
Using the power of film and evidence-based storytelling to foster mental health literacy and support population healthcare. We are dedicated to promoting safety, mental well-being, and personal agency, empowering individuals and communities to thrive and shape a brighter future for all. We endeavor to re-imagine education on a grand scale by cultivating communities that embrace empathy, accountability, inclusivity, and connection.
Working with partners, state agencies, corporate giving and family offices we help subsidize the cost of mental health literacy film programs and drive engagement to existing services.
Since 2011, Impactful Fund, formerly IndieFlix Foundation, has helped to provide subsidized or free access across school districts nationwide and over 3200, K-12 public schools in the state of California through the CalHOPE Schools Program for the 2021-24 school years. We have also provided free access to 145 schools in Washington and 565 schools in Illinois.
