The Stress Bag™
 
A grounding, hands-on way for kids (and adults) to manage, understand, and release stress.
 
The Stress Bag™ is a trauma-informed emotional regulation kit designed to help children and adults safely work through overwhelm, tension, anxiety, and the “too-much” feelings that can build up in the body. Created by Jeanette Yoffe, LMFT, the Stress Bag gives kids “a place to put their stress” so their bodies don’t have to hold it all.
 
Inside each Bag are soothing and energizing sensory tools that make coping physical, calming, and empowering, including the Purple Zipper Bag, Stress Pillow Case, Stress Journal, Stress Plushy, Stress Dough, 32 Stress Buster Cards, Bubbles, Worry Stones, Stress Tube, Stressed Puppets, and the Sensory Stress Relief Ball all designed to help children regulate their nervous system, express what’s happening inside, and shift from overwhelm to control.
 
Perfect for homes, classrooms, therapy offices, families coping with stress, after-school programs, residential treatment centers, and anyone supporting a child who struggles with anxiety, pressure, or stress-based behaviors.
 
The Stress Bag teaches how to:
 
* Recognize stress signals in their body
* Release tension through movement, touch, and sensory grounding
* Use journaling, puppets, and expressive tools to name and externalize stress
* Slow down their breathing and calm their mind
* Build coping strategies they can return to anytime, anywhere
 
Give someone what stress often blocks:
a safe container to calm, regulate, and find their center again.
