Movies Can Change the World.
2 Years of Mental Health in Alaska Schools for Free.
Impactful Fund presents The Creative Coping Toolkit: a film and evidence-based mental health literacy program providing practical tools to educate our educators, youth, and families to safely address mental health in a fresh, new way.
iMPACTFUL's Creative Coping Toolkit (CCT) has sparked essential conversations and positive change worldwide, impacting society's perception of mental health. It all began with ANGST, a groundbreaking film addressing anxiety. This success led to LIKE, exploring social media addiction and online safety. The Upstanders followed, focusing on the power of peers to combat bullying. The latest addition to iMPACTFUL's CCT is RACE to Be Human, which delves into belonging, kindness, and empathy.
Join us in raising $125K to support this mission and make mental health a priority for students, educators, and families in Alaska schools for 2 years.

The CCT: ANGST Edition
The Angst CCT is a film program for all ages designed to raise awareness about anxiety. Angst aims to remove the stigma and open up the conversation about mental health, helping our youth and their families understand that a certain amount of anxiety is healthy and when to recognize when it's too much. Our program includes tips for recognizing symptoms and when to reach out for help. Most importantly, it shows us that we are not alone and that anxiety is 100% treatable.

The CCT: LIKE Edition
LIKE inspires self-regulation and shares how to hack the brain to create balance in our digital world. The LIKE CCT explores the impact of social media on our lives and the effects of technology on the brain and on learning. Understanding that virtual connection is a huge part of our socialization and can have many benefits, how do we use it to best inform, educate, and inspire us to self-regulate, so we can enjoy a more balanced and fulfilled life?

The CCT: RACE to Be Human Edition
RTBH focuses on the importance of respect and trust as shared through the lens of youth, families, mental health experts, employers, and educators. The RTBH CCT addresses character development, kindness, respect, honesty, belonging, and trust. It also shares how we can promote curiosity, self-reflection, integrity, and empathy through positive conversations at home, school, and work. The program includes strategies to inspire self-reflection, connection, and accountability so that, as individuals, we are more aware and, as communities, we can collectively honor family, dignity, and respect to pursue belonging for all ethnicities.

The CCT: The Upstanders Edition
The Upstanders CCT is about kindness, respect, resilience, and the power of connection to end bullying. The Upstanders explores all sides of bullying, from the brain science to how it plays out from subtle scenarios to full-blown bullying. Social media's power means that bullying behavior is now a 24/7 phenomenon, where even changing schools, jobs, and phone numbers, or deleting accounts cannot stop the cycle. Covid has increased the incidence of cyberbullying by 70%. This film program shares safe proven strategies and is rooted in character building. It inspires kindness, honesty, respect, empathy, trust and connection.
